Zenova Group
PLC
("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group")
Zenova announces its
appointment as an official supplier to the NHS for its Zenova FX
range of extinguishers
Initial order of FX500 units
already shipped
Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED), the innovative fire suppression and
interdiction solutions Company, is pleased to announce that it has
secured its first order to two hospitals in the Epsom and St Helier
Trust Hospital group in Surrey. As of this writing, the
Company has already delivered a small batch of FX500 units for use
in sensitive areas of the hospitals.
This breakthrough order comes as a
result of the hospital decision to deploy the FX500 to protect
against lithium-ion battery fires in critical care theatres. The FX
500 is being deployed in the bio-medical equipment workshops and
the medical equipment library locations in two hospitals within the
Trust based in Surrey.
Coincidentally, Zenova, alongside its
sub-distributor, Holistium Technologies Ltd have been appointed
permanent, official suppliers to the NHS, one of the first for any
specialist extinguisher producer.
Thomas Melchior, CEO of Zenova Group, commented, "This is a major contract win for Zenova and with
the largest single institution in the UK, the NHS. This
breakthrough for the Group comes as a result of a long period of
their testing of our FX extinguishers, as well as the growing
concerns around lithium-ion battery fires. Given the
prevalence of equipment powered by such batteries in NHS
facilities, this increased awareness will inevitably result in
significant sales to follow in the months to come. We are
pleased to be able to provide our proven solution against this
safety risk in such a mission critical environment. As an
official supplier to the NHS now, we expect Zenova to be able to
leverage this status in the broader marketplace where the NHS is
rightly seen has having industry-leading performance
standards."

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 and electrical 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.
