Kemwell Impact Board firewalls and barriers are also extemely effective as blast walls due to their impact and heat resistant qualities. Kemwell Impact Board is a composite of fibre-cement with perforated metal sheets. It is non-combustible and lightweight is ideally used in the construction of fire resisting structures. It is unaffected by moisture and when saturated its fire performance remains unimpaired. Exceptionally robust, Kemwell Impact Board is resistant to impact damage and once installed, requires minimal maintenance.

Unlike many fire and blast resistant materials, Kemwell Impact Board is non-combustible and will withstand an explosion followed by a prolonged fire and will still be unaffected by hose stream fire fighting. Its integrity remains unimpaired, ensuring continued protection against fire, impact and moisture as well as preventing the escape of smoke and toxic gases.

Nuclear and Power:

Within an industry where the concern for environmental protection, together with the increasing demand for electrical power, brings constant technology development in both conventional and new approaches to the supply of energy, only a system such as Kewmell Impact Board has the flexibility to match the need for innovative solutions.

Pharmaceutical:

Pharmaceutical facilities an benefit from using Kemwell Impact Board systems for blast relieving and blast resistant walls in their facilities. Manufacturing interuption through fire or an explosion is a huge risk and using Kemwell Impact Board to compartment areas limits this risk.

Off-Shore:

The light weight and strength of Kemwell Impact Board, combined with its resistance to hydrocarbon fire, blast, impact, water and corrosion makes it the ideal choice for fire protection on off-shore production platforms and in potentially hazardous land-based environments.
