Dolphin-Fire Stop Silicon Sealant, a premium Made-in-UAE brand, has won certification from Abu Dhabi Civil Defense, endorsing the quality of the product in ensuring fire safety in buildings.
The brand owned by Al Muqarram Group, manufacturer of a range of products for construction insulation, automotive, and HVAC industries, was also the first fire-rated product to be launched in the GCC.
Earlier, Dolphin-Fire Stop Silicon Sealant had bagged approval and certification from the Sharjah Civil Defense. The sealant is tested and approved by Efectis, the Turkey-based fire safety expert entity in testing and modeling, certification, education and inspection of fire safety products.
“As a UAE-based local manufacturer of products, we are proud to introduce the Dolphin-Fire Stop Silicone Sealant, which is a unique product in its capability to resist fire for longer hours and at higher temperatures. Using the product will help shore up fire resistance in buildings, and will offer a much-needed value addition for the UAE construction industry,” said Safdar Badami, managing director, Al Muqarram Group.
Dolphin-Fire Stop Silicone Sealant can resist fire for four hours and protect buildings against heat of up to a temperature of 400 deg C.
The company said the product is a single-component, neutral cure, gun-grade fire-stopping sealant tested and approved by independent laboratories across the world. The group’s production facilities are spread across the UAE with a total area of over 20,000 sq m.
