As the offshore industry continues to push the limits when it comes to extending the life of assets and supporting operation in increasingly harsh conditions, the need for reliable and durable solutions that deliver proven performance has never been greater. The focus on technical safety in oil and gas production is continuously increasing, with an expectation that all products and solutions are tested, qualified and certified to relevant regulations and standards. Companies need to be committed to designing high-performance, robust and reliable solutions that will improve safety and protect people, equipment, critical components and structures in the most demanding environments. Fires in offshore or onshore installations can lead to immense destruction, making the uses and understanding of the properties of passive fire protection (PFP) materials crucial. PFP is typically used in defined areas highlighted in project-specific design accidental load specifications and is required to meet blast and fire requirements.
