Innovation never sleeps

Cutting-edge fire protection requires continuous innovation, from tailored coating solutions to the advanced testing capabilities behind Chartek’s track record of proven performance in protecting oil and gas installations worldwide. With over 3,000 scientists employed in 70 laboratories, AkzoNobel’s technology leadership is the foundation of the innovative coatings and coating solutions that make up the Chartek range.

45+ years track record

As the cement-based materials used at the time were found to lack the durability to survive the harshest and most diverse environments, Chartek became a perfect fit for the needs of the oil industry. Through continuous research and development, our passive fire protection products have changed the way of thinking in the industry. Today, Chartek is the first choice in fire protection for the world's oil majors. We deliver solutions that work, whatever the location, whatever the environment and whatever the coating needs.

Exceptional products, exceptional protection
