Two patented inventions provide innovative solutions for different fire-protection challenges. One technology combats persistent smouldering and afterglow in insulation materials. The second opens up applications for paper, cardboard packaging, wood-based materials and plastics.
This IP portfolio is intended for manufacturers, strategic buyers, investors and patent commercialisation partners. The preferred transaction is either an outright acquisition of the patent portfolio or a strategic licensing arrangement.
Manufacturers of wood-fibre and cellulose insulation materials commonly use fire retardants to reduce rapid ignition and flame spread. Under severe thermal exposure, however, visible flames may disappear while the material continues to smoulder internally. This concealed process can continue until the material is extensively damaged or completely consumed.
This difficult-to-detect fire behaviour is an important challenge in the further development of natural-fibre insulation materials for multi-storey construction. Addressing persistent smouldering may therefore be particularly relevant to manufacturers pursuing product development and potential qualification for higher German building classes, including GK 4 and GK 5. Any such classification remains subject to the applicable product-specific testing and approval procedures.
The core invention is directed primarily at the insulation materials industry and is designed to suppress smouldering and afterglow. The underlying technology may also be applicable in other fields, including flame-retarded plastics.
The second invention extends the technology to a broader range of industrial materials, including cardboard packaging, paper, wood chips, plywood, MDF and chipboard.
The technology is intended to be integrated into existing industrial manufacturing processes. Testing, classification and regulatory approval remain product-specific and must be carried out for the respective manufacturer and end product in accordance with the applicable standards.
The following videos document preliminary fire-exposure and smouldering trials. They are provided as visual technical demonstrations only and do not constitute, or replace, product-specific testing, classification or approval under the applicable standards.
Demonstrations showing the fire and smouldering behaviour of wood-fibre insulation boards treated with the patented technology.
In the comparative trials, untreated cellulose is shown on the left and cellulose treated with the patented technology on the right.
The captions describe only what is shown in the respective demonstrations. No claim regarding a specific building-material class, certification or market approval is made on the basis of these videos. Such statements require the relevant standards-based testing of the specific end product.
The portfolio comprises two independent patented inventions. A complete list of jurisdictions, patent documents and related records is available to qualified interested parties as part of a confidential due-diligence process.
We welcome enquiries from established industrial companies, strategic buyers, investors and patent commercialisation partners interested in acquiring the IP portfolio outright or developing a strategic licensing partnership.
