‌Ensuring Safety at Sea: The Role of Fireproof Bulkheads‌
On cargo ships, structural elements like the hull, deck, and bulkheads are typically made of steel, which has high thermal conductivity. In the event of a fire, initial spread occurs rapidly through heat convection. As temperatures rise, heat radiation becomes the dominant propagation method, spreading at a rate proportional to the fourth power of temperature and requiring no direct contact. Openings or poorly insulated bulkheads can allow fire to spread uncontrollably to adjacent compartments, leading to catastrophic damage to the vessel, cargo, and crew.

Features

Ultimate Fire Protection‌: Achieves the stringent B-0 and A60 fire ratings, effectively blocking flame and smoke spread to meet SOLAS and IMO regulations.

‌Superior Acoustic Insulation‌: With sound reduction values up to 58 dB, it significantly lowers noise transmission from engine rooms and between cabins, enhancing crew comfort and productivity.

‌Robust & Durable Construction‌: The galvanized steel or PVC surface offers excellent corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance, while the rock wool or aluminum honeycomb core ensures structural integrity and longevity.

‌Lightweight Efficiency‌: The aluminum honeycomb core option provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, contributing to optimal vessel stability and fuel efficiency.

‌Versatile Applications‌: Ideally suited for constructing fire divisions (bulkheads and ceilings), cable penetration panels, and high-specification acoustic enclosures on all types of vessels.
