Zenova FX extinguishers Internationally Tested

Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED) , the innovative fire suppression and interdiction solutions Company, is excited to announce that it has been informed by MPA Dresden institute, a European Union-recognised certification centre, that both the Company's Zenova FX fluid used in all of Zenova fire extinguishers as well as the 6 and 9 litre fire extinguishers have all successfully completed the battery of regulation EN3-7 tests required for European certification. The official test results confirmed 34A, 113B, 75F and E for the 6 litre and 43A, 183B, 75F and E for the 9 litre fire extinguisher.

The formal certificates are expected to be received by October month-end which will then allow Zenova to market its premier products to retail and industrial customers requiring the highest certifications.

In addition, the Company is likewise pleased that it has just received its inaugural order for its FX 6 litre fire extinguisher immediately upon this news.

Thomas Melchior, CEO of the Zenova Group, commented, "Passing EN3-7 certification for both our fluids and extinguishers, is clearly a major milestone in the Company's short history. The team have been working hard to create distinctive products in the marketplace and gaining EN3-7 certification is a crucial endorsement of that effort and further supports the Company's growing competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Finally, I want to congratulate Tony Crawley and his team for securing our native order for our large extinguisher, the FX. Stakeholders should all be encouraged by Zenova's continued progress in penetrating markets."

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, E 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 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.

Zenova CS, ceiling sprinkler

Blending the best features of both detectors and extinguishers while avoiding the drawbacks of each. It senses heat rather than smoke, resulting in less false alarms, and it's an automatic system that doesn't require a battery or a person to operate it. The modular Zenova CS unit expels 2.4 - 4.8 L of proprietary Zenova FX suppression fluid at high-pressure to suppress the source of a fire, yet maintains visibility that allows occupants to evacuate quickly.
