Fire-safe printing, demonstrably

Public spaces, facades and passenger ships require a proven fire class. We print on materials tested according to EN 13501-1 — up to and including A2-s1,d0.

Which class for which place?

What is established, we demonstrate — the rest we verify per project.

Class Meaning Where you use it
Non-combustible (A1, A2) Fire resistant; does not contribute to the fire. Escape routes, facade cladding, wall and ceiling cladding in public spaces, primary decks in the maritime industry.
Fire retardant (B, C) Very limited contribution to fire. Public indoor spaces: walls, furniture and interior panels.

In the IMO test, print with coating was heated for ten minutes with a gas burner at 200 to 945 °C; smoke only began to develop after 40 seconds.

Frequently asked questions about fire-safe printing

Is there an example from practice?

Dutch Railways (NS) requires a fire-safe solution when renovating stations. They chose DecorPanel Facade: impact resistant, suitable for outdoors, with anti-graffiti coating and non-combustible. View the NS projects (in Dutch).
