[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Samhwa Paint Industrial Co., Ltd. will supply fire-resistant coatings to Dasco Co., Ltd., the No. 1 soundproof facility manufacturer in Korea.

Last month, Samhwa Paint signed a business agreement with Dasco to exclusively supply fire-resistant coatings applied to soundproof facilities. Dasco is the leading company in Korea in the manufacturing of soundproof facilities such as soundproof tunnels and soundproof walls, and recently completed the development and patent acquisition of fire-resistant devices for soundproof facility supports.

The fire-resistant device for soundproof facility supports is a new concept soundproof facility "Fire Shield System" that secures the safety of facility users by attaching fire-resistant plates to the main supports where soundproof panels are installed, and enables the reuse of the main supports after a fire occurs.

The Samhwa Paint fire-resistant coating "Flame Check," applied to the fire-resistant plate part, is a product that blocks and delays the high-temperature heat from affecting the structural performance of steel during a fire.

When the coating film is heated by flames, it expands dozens of times to form a solid insulating layer that blocks heat transfer to the structure. This coating reduces the risk of collapse of steel structures caused by fire and helps reduce restoration costs.

A Samhwa Paint official said, "The soundproof tunnel market, where the fire-resistant device will be primarily applied, is estimated to be worth 400 billion KRW annually," adding, "As fire accidents in soundproof facilities have been occurring frequently recently, public demand is expected to increase further. We plan to actively respond to market demand with Dasco's soundproof facility manufacturing technology and Samhwa Paint's excellent fire-resistant coatings."
