Exclusive Supplier of Korea's First UL 1709-Certified Refractory Spray Material
KIPF200 Overcomes Challenges in Curved and Complex Applications
Full-Scale Entry into Overseas Plant Projects

On November 20, Samhwa Paint Industrial announced that it has partnered with Prime Chemical to introduce a fireproofing solution that combines fire-resistant paint and refractory spray material technologies.


By securing the exclusive supply rights for an industrial refractory spray material that is the first in Korea to obtain UL 1709 certification, Samhwa Paint Industrial has become the only company in Korea to hold UL 1709 certification for both fire-resistant paint and refractory spray materials.

The product in question is KIPF200, an industrial cement-based refractory spray material. It is designed for use in facilities vulnerable to fire, such as tunnels and oil and petrochemical plants. It can maintain the fire resistance of structures for up to four hours at a high temperature of 1,350 degrees Celsius, and its excellent durability minimizes cracking or delamination caused by impact.


KIPF200 has also obtained tunnel fire resistance test certification from the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT). Traditional tunnel fireproofing systems involve attaching fire-resistant boards, which makes it difficult to apply to curved surfaces. However, KIPF200 adopts a spray application method, enabling quick and easy installation.



A representative from Samhwa Paint Industrial stated, "By combining the technological capabilities, sales, and construction support competencies of both companies, we expect to generate strong synergy in the industrial fireproofing market." The representative added, "We plan to actively expand into overseas plant projects beyond the domestic market."
