Zenova FX extinguishers now
also approved as UK marine equipment
Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED),
the innovative fire suppression and interdiction solutions Company,
is pleased today to announce that Zenova FX range of 6 and 9 litre
extinguishers are now approved as marine equipment according to the
Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations (MER) by BSI for
use on onboard UK flagged ships and vessels. This latest
designation follows on quickly from other important certification
awards for the Group's extinguisher range in both the UK and
Europe, for high-performance specification duty on both land and
sea.
Thomas Melchior, CEO of Zenova Group, commented, "This
additional MER certification for UK flagged vessels comes on top of
the MED certification for European flagged vessels announced in
March of this year. This opens the entire marine fire extinguisher
market across Europe for Zenova, which is already a major target
area for the Group given its higher margins and some particularly
strong customer relationships in Marine among our senior sales
team."

About Zenova Group PLC
The Group, through Zenova Ltd, is
the holder of intellectual property that underpins a suite of fire
safety and temperature management products and technology. The
product range is applicable to industrial, commercial, and
residential markets. The Group's products include fire retardant
paints, insulating paints and render, fire extinguishing fluid and
fire extinguishers. Through innovative development, and a refined
formulation and development process, Zenova provides industry
leading solutions across a range of fire protection and temperature
management problems, comprising:
Zenova FP, fire protection
paint
A water based, fire protection paint
(also known as a 'thermofoaming' or 'intumescent' paint), which can
be used on any surface and colour matched to any colour. When
exposed to heat or flames, the paint expands and creates a solid
foam-like crust which will not burn and insulates the surface it is
painted on. This prevents surfaces from catching fire and stops
fire spreading. It has been tested by global fire industry
experts and complies with UK building regulations and the latest UK
and European fire safety standards.
Zenova IP, thermal insulation
paint
A thermal insulation paint embeds
the most modern insulating technology in a thermos-like ultra-thin
layer. It saves energy by increasing the thermal
insulation level in commercial and residential
buildings. Solar heat can increase the temperature within a
building by 75% to 90%. Zenova IP has been independently tested and
validated to deflect, absorb and dissipate up to 75% of this
heat, thereby reducing the inside temperature by up to 45%.
Suitable for both exterior and interior, on any type of
surface
Zenova IR, thermal insulation
render
Zenova IR is a ready mixed
insulation render that can be applied to internal and external
walls in commercial and residential buildings to provide immediate
insulation benefits and can be colour matched to any
colour.
Zenova FX, fire
extinguishers
A fire extinguisher like no other.
It puts out class A, B, F and electrical fires fully tested against
European EN3 as well as British standards. Available in 6 and 9
litre sizes.
Zenova FX500, aerosol fire
extinguisher
The Zenova FX500 is a
high-performance handheld fire extinguisher that is tested by
independent experts and adheres to the highest industry
standards. Safe for use on any type of fire the Zenova
FX500 reduces the risk of reignition. The Zenova FX 500 is quick,
easy and safe to operated and has been tested to BS6165
standard.
Zenova WB, wildfire
barrier
A wildfire barrier fluid (applied
via spray wands or aerial drops), which provides a virtual barrier
where fire simply will not burn. Repeated tests on a variety of
extremely dry wildfire fuels (grasses, hays, brush) demonstrates
the incredible fire resistance Zenova WB provides, while remaining
viable after application for30+ days in dry conditions.
