Zenova Earns UK Kitemark, Completing its Europe-wide Certification Goals

 New Zenova FX Customer Order Pending Kitemark Immediately Released

Company Now Claims Highest Proficiency Fire Extinguisher Certification Among
Its Competitors

 

Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED), the innovative fire suppression and interdiction
solutions Company, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a Kitemark,
the UK's highest product certification, across a full range of fire causes.
Along with the Group's recent announcement on achieving full
European-standards EN3 certification, the awarding of the UK Kitemark
completes the Group's goal for proficiency markings on all its fire
extinguisher products.

 

Furthermore, the Kitemark certification has allowed for the immediate release
of a pending order for 100 extinguishers to a major UK customer as well as
other important sales channels in its home market that require this marking as
a pre-requisite for consideration by purchasing managers.

 

With today's Kitemark award, the directors believe that, among companies that
produce fire extinguishers, its products offer the highest level of
effectiveness across the widest array of fire types in the market. Effectively
making the Zenova FX range the most certified fire extinguisher for all types
of fires.

 

Ewan Dunsire, Director of Bells and Two Tones explained, "We have recognised
for some time the higher performance standards offered by Zenova's
extinguishers. We have just received our first delivery of the Zenova FX fire
extinguishers, and the UK Kitemark now allows us to deliver industry leading
extinguisher to our clients in the UK."

 

Paul Watkins, Director of KTP UK Ltd commented, "We immediately placed a
purchase order for Zenova FX extinguishers as soon as we heard about the
Kitemark. This was the last missing piece that allows us to sell to leading UK
clients."

 

Thomas Melchior, CEO of Zenova Group, commented, "Gaining Kitemark
certification in the UK is a major milestone for Zenova Group.  In addition
to opening up significant new order potential with major customers requiring
this highest-standard credential, we now can formally substantiate our
long-held belief that, among competitors producing extinguishers that claim to
be effective across a wide range of fire types, Zenova's fluids are the
industry leader for multi-fire cause proficiency.

 

I am confident that this certification superiority will further enhance our
ability to pursue and close new orders with new customers and very much look
forward to updating the market over the near-term. "

Notes to Editors

 

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.
