Fire prevention

The main purpose of fire prevention is to prevent fires from starting and then to stop them from spreading and finally to stop reaction by rapid quenching methods.

Fire protection is ideally divided into active and passive fire protection.

ACTIVE AND PASSIVE PROTECTION

Active protection measures aim at reducing the frequency and intensity of fire through early detection and suppression when the fire is still in its initial phase.

Passive protection measures, the heart of Marvon production, aim at:

Limiting damages to structures
Avoiding or limiting the harmful effects of the productions of combustion.

REACTION OF MATERIALS TO FIRE

The reaction of materials to fire regards the participation of a material with the fire to which it is exposed.

It essentially expresses the ability of a material to feed and propagate a fire, depending on its physical and chemical characteristics.

FIRE RESISTANCE

Unlike reaction to fire, resistance to fire expresses a characteristic that does not relate to the materials but to a building component, regardless of the materials used.
