The challenge

ZeroignitionTaking existing products and making them fire retardant requires a clear understanding of fire safety standards, product formulations, material properties and applications. Every product needs a unique additive formulation, so Zi must draw on a broad knowledge base to ensure its additives work only to enhance the construction materials being treated.

For FR construction materials treated by Zi, it’s essential that they remain compliant with any existing standards the product may be certified to; to ensure this the products must be re-fire tested. With so many materials and products - which each adhere to their own sets of standards and legal requirements - Zi needed to find a way to work alongside standards to give their customers’ products the best possible protection against fire.



Zi uses standards to:

Zeroignition

Understand its customers’ compliance requirements and retain a material’s properties and performance

Zeroignition

Provide a framework for innovation in Zi’s solutions

Zeroignition

Maintain quality and consistency across multiple facilities, varying conditions and different legislative requirements


Advancing fire safety with standards

Zi’s formulations must ensure the construction product materials are both fire retardant and perform for their primary requirements. This means using potentially hundreds of ingredients, depending on the complexity of the starting material.

For Zi, standards in many ways provide a baseline and a framework within which to operate. Working within the parameters of standards ensures Zi is always innovating, refining and improving its processes and products; standards help push the company to be increasingly inventive and continue to reinvent how FR additives work, driving the entire fire safety sector forward.


Setting the standard for success

Standards enable you to:

Zeroignition

Access quality information in any particular area or on a specific subject – especially valuable for SMEs which don’t always have the resources of larger organizations.

Zeroignition

Ensure you’re following the best practice for your industry. It’s faster and more cost- effective to demonstrate compliance with recognized standards.

Zeroignition

Give consumers and other stakeholders confidence in your products and services by setting the benchmark for quality, safety and many other areas.
