Fire Extinguisher Linings

The need for a long lasting serviceable fire extinguisher for foam and water has long been supported by the Plascoat PPA 600 series of products. Mild steel cylinders are lined with the specially formulated coating materials from Plascoat to meet the performance criteria of EN3 and the corrosion effects of water and AFFF foam.

Plascoat is unique in that it can not only offer the coating protection for the cylinders on the inside but also long lasting spray coating for the outside – particularly for marine applications such as oil rigs. Plascoat can suggest application equipment for this coating process – be it for hundreds or tens of thousands of cylinders.

Grades are available for rotolining or spraying equipment.
