Hensel achieved another breakthrough with the first certification for the HENSOTHERM® 490 KS system of up to 4 hours in accordance with the American market requirement UL263 for steel fire protection coating systems, which is also widespread in the Middle East. The HENSOTHERM® 490 KS system, which enables thick layers to be applied in one operation, is rapidly gaining in popularity. In further tests with HENSOTHERM® 490 KS a few years later in 2018, Hensel is the first manufacturer in the world to exceed the UL requirements by up to 90 minutes and achieves a fire resistance duration of 5.5 hours (R330).
