Ensuring safety in a factory is of the utmost importance. We certainly do not need to tell you that. After all, you want to protect your employees against all possible hazards to minimize personal and operational risks. Proper, safe surface treatment is a must in this regard, and Korthals Group is the specialist in that field.
At Korthals Group, we understand the importance of a safe working environment. We offer a comprehensive range of safety products specifically designed to minimize risks in factories.
One of the most common causes of accidents in factories is floor-related: slips and falls. Many of our floor systems can be implemented with a non-slip finish to prevent fall and slip incidents.
Suitable products: Virtually all HIM floor coatings and systems
It is also essential at all times to indicate hazardous areas within the factory. By applying lining and marking, safety in factories can be increased in various ways. Consider the following: crossings and waiting zones for safe traffic flow, pictograms and symbols for providing warning signals, and signage to indicate escape routes.
Suitable product: HIM LMP (Lining and Marking Paint)
In chemical plants, the production process itself can also lead to dangerous situations, including fire hazards and the release of acids, corrosive, and/or toxic substances.
In thermal installations, such as reactors, overheating can occur. Naturally, you want to prevent this at all times.
With temperature-indicating paints, you can detect such hazards in time. These coatings change color as soon as a safe temperature is exceeded. This color change serves as a warning, allowing safety protocols in the factory to be initiated more quickly.
The release of liquids or gases also poses a real danger within factory environments. This risk exists, for example, in production environments where hydrogen fluoride is used to control the process. This acid—which is part of a closed system—can ‘leak’ from piping and connection points, with disastrous consequences. However, with hydrogen fluoride color-changing paint, it becomes clear at a glance which process components pose a real risk of acid leakage. Thanks to the signaling effect, one can react quickly and adequately to these circumstances.
Suitable products: Therm-O-Signal (temperature-indicating paint) and KB Hydrogen Fluoride color-changing paint (color-changing paint for acids)
