In addition Denber Colors has completed a number of new projects for coating buildings against fire. The projects that have been completed are at the Haganah train station in Tel Aviv and at the Yoseftal train station in Beit Yam, as well as at the Solel Boneh building in Kiryat Atidim in Ramat Hachayal.

The purpose of the coating is to protect the steel columns and beams that support the roof, so that they do not fall and cause the structure to collapse in the event of a fire. In the event of a fire, the paint swells up to 60 times and physically removes the fire from the steel, giving protection of between two and three hours, according to the fire brigade’s requirements.
