Hempacore improves fire safety at Torun Sports Stadium in Poland
The university city of Torun in central Poland is a popular destination for students and tourists, and the city’s new sports hall complex serves both visitors and locals alike. When a government Council commissioned the project, it wanted a coating solution that would not just protect the stadium from corrosion, but would also provide added safety in the case of fire.
Our solution was to combine proven anti-corrosive coatings with Hempacore FD, a fast-drying passive fire protection coating. When exposed to high temperatures, Hempacore FD produces an insulating layer of carbon char that enables structural steel to retain its load-bearing capacity for up to two hours, giving people in the building valuable time to evacuate.
