Global Expertise and Support

With operations in over 50 locations worldwide, including 13 research and development sites, AkzoNobel provides extensive technical support tailored to your project needs. Our NACE and FROSIO accredited Technical Service Representatives offer global assistance to ensure your facility operates at peak performance.

Fire Protection You Can Trust

Our comprehensive International testing program, in full compliance with ASTM E-119 standards (equivalent to UL263 and ULC101), assessed the integrity and insulation performance of materials and assemblies during fire exposure to measure their ability to withstand heat and maintain structural integrity.

Research demonstrated that a broad range of column and beam sizes enhanced our product performance. Our lower density formulation requires less material for effective protection, potentially saving time, reducing costs, and setting a new standard in fire protection solutions.

In partnership with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, AkzoNobel has carried out extensive research into lithium-ion battery fires to innovate leading passive fire protection systems for structural steel.
