Key Features & Benefits
High-Performance Fire Resistance
The Daken Epoxy Coating Shell (DEC) Passive Fire Protection System is a robust high-performance product manufactured using high performance epoxy intumescent fire protection coatings. The system is a bespoke design to suit various Critical Process Control Equipment (CPCE) to allow the equipment to remain operable in the event of a fire. The base product can be found on offshore platforms, FPSOs, refineries, petrochemical plants, LNG terminals and LPG storage facilities across the world. The product is highly durable and is resistant to industrial environments including splash and spillage of chemicals. Daken Epoxy Coating Shell (DEC) Passive Fire Protection System can be customized to accommodate any geometric shapes to suit all valves, actuators, flanges, pipe supports, and steel structures. The system is completely removable and can be removed and re-fitted, if required.
Custom-Engineered Fit
Designed with precision, the Epoxy Coating Shell offers a tailored fit for equipment shapes and sizes. The custom-engineered design provides a snug fit to overcome site obstructions and penetrations, without having to adjust the position of the surrounding installations.
Long-Term Durability in Harsh Environments
The system is a durable weatherproof solution that is weather and chemical resistant，Its durability ensures that it continues to maintain it’s fire integrity over time, even in the harshest conditions.
Compact & Weather-Resistant Design
The system is precisely shaped to fit actuator profiles, minimizing space occupancy and making it ideal for installations in confined areas. The material ensures excellent resistance to rain, humidity, and a wide range of chemicals, without any increase in weight under wet or harsh environmental conditions.
Product Type
Prefabricated modular type – Daken Epoxy Coating Shell (DEC) Passive Fire Protection Systems can be designed as a fully removable system that can be installed at site. The retrofit design is compact and quick to install using quick-release toggle fasteners. The system is self-supporting and can be adjusted easily at site to allow for tubing and cables to exit.
Moulded Shell – Daken assembles the module using prefabricated parts to suit the protected item, using die casting to create bespoke parts. The parts are then assembled and fitted to the protected item to form an epoxy coating shell.
