Fire safety and prevention at industrial sites - Tecklene® as part of the solution

Fire prevention is increasingly becoming a priority, not least because of recent incidents in both residential and industrial settings in Italy and abroad. In this regard, Regulation (EU) No. 305/20112 of the European Parliament and of the Council issued on March 9, 2011* regulates how construction works must be designed, built and operated in such a way that the causes of fire or explosion are minimized, providing, first and foremost, for the safety of people and, secondly, for the protection of property present, structures and the environment.

In full compliance with the regulations, the company STOMMPYSrl has introduced Tecklene® technology, that is, a technical polymer characterized by exceptional mechanical performance from the standpoint of strength and hygiene given its a-toxicity certification, which makes it suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical environments.

What distinguishes STOMMPY® safety bumper devices that are increasingly being installed inside companies to protect people and prevent damage to infrastructure or equipment is the material itself: Tecklene®. In addition to ensuring exceptional mechanical performance, unlike PVC and BFRs, this polymer guarantees the total absence of harmful fumes in case of combustion. We are talking about a chemical compound derived from the polymerization process of ethylene, expertly blended with active agents and cross-linking agents, which are ideal for the creation of high-efficiency bumper systems.

It may not be a solution to all problems related to safety and fire prevention at industrial sites, but the creation and use of Tecklene® certainly increases safety levels, both for the infrastructure and the personnel involved. The latest published statistics from the National Fire Department speak of +0.3 percent compared to the previous year (2016), with a figure of 6.3 percent of fires in industrial settings: warehouses, farm buildings etc. With a view to offering an effective response, STOMMPY Srl focuses on innovation and the development of new technologies, so we can confidently affirm the choice of Tecklene® is a well-informed decision that makes people, products and work environments safer and more secure.
