Ensuring safety in a factory is of the utmost importance. That goes without saying. After all, you want to protect your employees from all possible hazards to minimize personal and operational risks. A proper, safe surface treatment is essential in this regard, and at Korthals Group, we are the specialists you need. Below, you’ll find an overview of innovative and reliable safety solutions for factory environments.
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: slipping and falling. Many of our flooring systems can be equipped with an anti-slip finish to help prevent fall and slip incidents.
Suitable products: Virtually all HIM floor coatings and systems
It is always essential to highlight dangerous zones in the factory. By applying lines and markings, factory safety can be significantly improved in various ways. Examples include: crosswalks and waiting zones for safe traffic flow, pictograms and symbols to issue warning signals & signage to indicate escape routes.
Suitable product: HIM LMP (Lining and Marking Paint)
In chemical factories, the production process itself can lead to hazardous situations, such as fire risks or the release of acids, corrosive, and/or toxic substances.
In thermal installations, such as reactors, overheating can occur. Naturally, this is something you want to prevent at all costs.
With temperature-indicating paints, such hazards can be detected early. These coatings change color as soon as a safe temperature is exceeded, serving as a warning so that safety protocols in the factory can be activated more quickly.
The release of liquids or gases also poses a significant risk in factory environments. For instance, this risk is common in production environments where hydrogen fluoride is used to regulate processes. This acid—part of a closed system—can “leak” at pipework and connection points, with disastrous consequences.
However, with hydrogen fluoride indicating paint, it immediately becomes clear which process components are at risk of acid leakage. Thanks to its signaling function, quick and appropriate action can be taken to address these situations.
Suitable products: Therm-O-Signal (temperature-indicating paint) en KB Hydrogen Fluoride Indicating Paint (acid-indicating paint)
