Factories that operate in industries with explosive hazard zones, such as chemical processing, paint manufacturing, or grain milling, have extremely strict special requirements for wall materials, to minimize the risk of fire spread and explosion damage. The EPS Cement Sandwich Panel is perfectly suited for these high-risk industrial environments, offering a combination of safety features that make it one of the best wall solutions for explosion proof zone construction. First, the panels are completely non-combustible, with high-grade cement facings that do not burn, do not release toxic fumes, and do not contribute fuel to any fire or explosion event. Unlike flammable plastic wall panels or insulated materials that can catch fire and spread flames quickly, these panels will not add any extra fuel to a hazardous situation, which drastically reduces the risk of a small incident escalating into a major disaster. The panels also have excellent pressure resistance. In the event of a small localized explosion, the strong, rigid EPS Cement Sandwich Panel wall will absorb and contain much of the pressure wave, instead of breaking apart and sending dangerous flying debris across the factory. This helps limit the total damage of the incident, gives your workers more time to evacuate safely, and prevents the explosion from spreading to other sections of the facility. The panels are also completely static electricity safe. The cement facing surface does not build up static electric charge, which eliminates the risk of a tiny static spark igniting flammable gasses or dust in the explosion proof zone. This is a critical safety feature that many other wall materials can not match. The smooth, non-porous surface of the panel is also very easy to regularly clean, so you can remove all accumulated explosive dust residues from the wall surface on a daily basis, eliminating one of the biggest hidden explosion risks in facilities that process fine combustible dust. The panels meet all international industrial safety standards for use in explosive hazard classified zones, and they are certified for use in these high-risk environments. Unlike traditional heavy concrete explosion walls that are extremely expensive and slow to build, you can install these high safety performance panels quickly and affordably, to create fully compliant separated explosion proof zones inside your factory, that protect your workers, your facility and your business from catastrophic safety incidents.
