Zenova Group PLC Enters New Market with Major Demonstration in Chile

Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED), an innovation leader in fire suppression and temperature management solutions, is pleased to announce that its Latin American distribution partner, EZ International, recently hosted a major demonstration event in Chile for local fire safety professionals, industry buyers, and large potential customers.

The event showcased demonstrations of Zenova's complete range of innovative solutions, including the Zenova IP and FP thermal and fire protection coatings, along with the full suite of Zenova FX extinguishers. The highlight of the day was a striking ground fire demonstration, with Zenova's WB fluid deployed by drone for rapid and effective fire suppression.

Gabriel Coll, Vice President of Eco-Zenova International,"We intentionally chose this location in Chile for our latest Zenova product demonstration, as regional experts are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to address the growing frequency of fire events driven by climate change. The overwhelmingly positive response to the performance and effectiveness of Zenova's solutions is expected to significantly boost demand for our products across Latin America."

Thomas Melchior, CEO of Zenova Group PLC, commented, "EZI is a strategic partner propelling our international growth. Product demonstrations to key clients are the most effective way to secure customer acceptance, and EZI's efforts in showcasing our innovations are accelerating our global expansion strategy. The positive feedback from customers gives me strong confidence that we will soon announce initial orders from this region."

About Zenova Group PLC

The Group, through Zenova Ltd, is the holder of intellectual property that underpins a suite of fire safety and temperature management products and technology. The product range is applicable to industrial, commercial, and residential markets. The Group's products include fire retardant paints, insulating paints and render, fire extinguishing fluid and fire extinguishers. Through innovative development, and a refined formulation and development process, Zenova provides industry leading solutions across a range of fire protection and temperature management problems, comprising:

Zenova FP, fire protection paint

A water based, fire protection paint (also known as a 'thermofoaming' or 'intumescent' paint), which can be used on any surface and colour matched to any colour. When exposed to heat or flames, the paint expands and creates a solid foam-like crust which will not burn and insulates the surface it is painted on. This prevents surfaces from catching fire and stops fire spreading.  It has been tested by global fire industry experts and complies with UK building regulations and the latest UK and European fire safety standards.

Zenova IP, thermal insulation paint

A thermal insulation paint embeds the most modern insulating technology in a thermos-like ultra-thin layer.  It saves energy by increasing the thermal insulation level in commercial and residential buildings. Solar heat can increase the temperature within a building by 75% to 90%. Zenova IP has been independently tested and validated to deflect, absorb and dissipate up to 75% of this heat, thereby reducing the inside temperature by up to 45%.  Suitable for both exterior and interior, on any type of surface

Zenova IR, thermal insulation render

Zenova IR is a ready mixed insulation render that can be applied to internal and external walls in commercial and residential buildings to provide immediate insulation benefits and can be colour matched to any colour.

Zenova FX, fire extinguishers

A fire extinguisher like no other. It puts out class A, B, F and electrical fires fully tested against European EN3 as well as British standards. Available in 6 and 9 litre sizes.

Zenova FX500, aerosol fire extinguisher

The Zenova FX500 is a high-performance handheld fire extinguisher that is tested by independent experts and adheres to the highest industry standards.   Safe for use on any type of fire the Zenova FX500 reduces the risk of reignition. The Zenova FX 500 is quick, easy and safe to operated and has been tested to BS6165 standard.

Zenova CS, automatic ceiling sprinklers

The Zenova CS provides ceiling-mounted fire protection for new builds and can be easily retrofitted into any existing environment to address all types of fire risks

Zenova WB, wildfire barrier

A wildfire barrier fluid (applied via spray wands or aerial drops), which provides a virtual barrier where fire simply will not burn. Repeated tests on a variety of extremely dry wildfire fuels (grasses, hays, brush) demonstrates the incredible fire resistance Zenova WB provides, while remaining viable after application for30+ days in dry conditions.
