 Hello, I'm Zenfix, the new value creation on the ceiling.

In today's posting,

Will my child survive the school fire?

I'm going to talk about a little bit of a heavy topic.

Large and small fire accidents occur repeatedly every year.

Social awareness of fire is gradually being reviewed.

In particular, many related laws have been revised.

In the case of schools that are vulnerable to evacuation, the use of non-combustible materials, etc.

Appropriate fire prevention measures are in place.

Although it is preemptive compared to other buildings,

Nevertheless, more attention should be paid to school fires.

Children are not only less capable of self-evacuation than adults.

Because the escape route is narrower than that of evacuees and can be a bottleneck!

For this reason, children can evacuate in the event of a fire.

It is important to ensure sufficient time.

In 2019, an elementary school in Seoul suffered great damage from a fire.

There's a teacher in the pilot parking lot.

The fire spread, including cigarettes thrown away in the garbage collection area.

It was a large fire that burned down the entire annex in just three minutes.

* Piloti structure: The first floor is constructed with only columns and walls removed.

Fortunately, there were no casualties in the fire after the students left school.

It's an event that can't be overlooked.

If the fire is...

What if it happens when the children are listening?

Or what if it's lunch time when teachers can't lead students?

Even if you quickly recognize a fire based on the speed of the fire spread,

Safe evacuation of children would not have been guaranteed.

An official of Eunpyeong Fire Station said, Regarding the fire,

1) The ignition point is a piloti structure.

2) By using combustible ceiling finishing material SMC plastic ceiling material

Prevent Outer Flashover

This is the biggest cause of the spread of the fire.

In the event of a fire in the pilot structure,

Flammable gas builds up in the space between the ceiling and the finishing material by hot heat.

In addition, some of the fire-resistant plastic ceiling materials were removed by flames.

Large explosions and rapid fires as oxygen enters between the ceiling and the finishing material and meets combustible gases.

Outer Flashover, which causes diffusion.

If you understand the process of instantaneous combustion,

Use fire-safe non-combustible ceiling materials

By preventing or delaying instantaneous combustion,

We will be able to secure golden time for children to evacuate.

After the cause of the fire was identified, the schools that caught fire were:

Replace SMC plastic ceiling with non-combustible metal ceiling DMC.

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and Ulsan, Daejeon, Gyeongbuk, and other regional offices of education.

We are conducting a flammable exterior material replacement project.

What's the difference between DMC and SMC?

Zenfix's metal ceiling DMC is a unique metal ceiling made of galvanized steel plate galvanium material.

In terms of fire safety, it is significantly different from SMC, a plastic ceiling material.

DMC and SMC three-minute combustion test

The average temperature of a fire in a pilot structure is 1,200℃.

The SMC plastic ceiling material has a melting point of 200℃ below the average fire temperature.

Burn quickly in the early stages of a fire.

Not only does the low melting point cause the instantaneous combustion mentioned earlier,

Strong toxic gases are generated during combustion, which can cause suffocation of evacuating children and interfere with securing evacuation routes.

However, the melting point of DMC, the metal ceiling material of Zenfix, is 1,530℃, which can withstand fire.

It's possible to secure children's prime time!

Please remember.

Zenfix KS Product Certificate / Sound Absorption Metal Ceiling Material SDMC Test Report

DMC has reliable quality.

Zenfix's metal ceiling DMC is the first non-combustible metal ceiling material to obtain KS certification.

KS certification stands for Korea Standard and is the most representative of Korea's certification system.

The acquisition process is very strict because it is a system that guarantees quality and is reviewed according to the standards set by the state.

Therefore, Zenfix DMC, which proves quality excellence based on KS certification,

It is a ceiling material that can be used without any problems in schools where children live.

DMC also uses UV printing to print logos and designs on the ceiling.

Students' psychological stability, as well as the advantages of highlighting the individuality of each space,

I have it.

If you want high sound absorption, another product from Zenfix,

SDMC is recommended!

With all the advantages of DMC and sound absorption capabilities, the SDMC offers:

The high absorption rate of 0.72 effectively absorbs the noise generated in school.

It's another functional material from Zenfix!

Finally, you can only see it in Zenfix!

Introduce free clip bar clip support when installing external ceiling materials.

Clip bar clip is a material that can be used in the construction method of DMC ceiling material "Clip bar system".

Prevent the clip bar system from shaking due to external shocks such as strong winds and earthquakes.

It plays a role in holding the ceiling more tightly.

If you entrust Zenfix with the construction outside the ceiling,

These additional materials are provided free of charge.

We will construct a ceiling where our children can go safely.

DMC has so many advantages!

Now! Check the ceiling of my child's school.

If you change the ceiling, you can save my child.
