TENMAT FIREFLY hot gas filter elements are manufactured from bio-soluble materials and inorganic bonds, enabling them to be used at temperatures in excess of 1000°C. FIREFLY filter elements are designed to remove particulate pollutants from hot gases. FIREFLY filters operate at temperatures and efficiencies higher than those achievable with any conventional filtration systems. Other chemical…
Tenmat’s innovation includes a range of light covers, fire rated air valves and the most recent product – the ceiling fan fire stop – the first in the industry to be fully fire tested on light weight “metal web joist” ceiling constructions. The full scale test included penetrations running through, and will pave the way…
Smoke generated from the burning of halogens can be harmful or even lethal to human health. Many intumescent materials can contain a high degree of halogens due to the binders used. TENMAT intumescent materials contain a very low binder content and are mineral fibre based. In recent independent tests, all TENMAT intumescent materials have been classified…
The US Vessel General Permit (VGP), demands the use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) or the use of an air seal if mineral oils are the acting as lubricants. The latter option, not only requires heavy investment, but there is no guarantee as if the air seal was to fail, ship owners would still be…
TENMAT’s weldable tungsten carbide composite material FEROBIDE is the ideal solution for scroll flight protection, as it allows for direct welding to the scroll using conventional welding methods with no need for an intermediate “carrier” as conventional tungsten carbide tiles do. Since there is no need for a carrier, FEROBIDE tiles have a larger wear…
In the event of a train fire, low smoke density can be of vital importance and allows people to quickly and safely escape the train. The new European standard EN 45545-2 defines tighter requirements for the fire resistance of materials and components. Therefore, in order to achieve the highest possible level of safety in trains…
Smoke kills more people than fire. Intumescent products provide fire and smoke seals for many life safety applications, the irony has been that many intumescent materials are rubber based and produce large amounts of smoke emission in a fire, this is dangerous to both occupants and fire fighters and is simply wrong. Tenmat materials are…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Metal web joists and light weight engineered joists are becoming increasing popular in the construction industry, particularly for home builds. Whilst this type of joist does offer many great benefits over traditional solid timber joists, they do perform very differently in a fire scenario. In wood-based floors, failure will occur some time after the fire…
In 2018 the Chilean Navy celebrates its Bicentennial. TENMAT-RAILKO would like to congratulate the Chilean Navy for 200 years of service and a great history from the time of gaining independence, through age of explorations and expansions, to the present impressive state of 25000 personnel and 71 vessels. Notable moments for the Chilean Navy Valparaíso…
