Defence operations demand innovation. From lightweight fire-rated insulation to advanced battery protection systems, our fire and blast solutions safeguard vessels and personnel under extreme conditions.

Engineered with innovative, phenolic-based materials, our products offer thermal, acoustic insulation and blast protection, tailored to the requirements of MOD and naval shipbuilding. Lightweight and easy to deploy, they enhance operational flexibility while maintaining the highest standards of safety.

We have a number of solutions for defence applications to ensure naval platforms are prepared for harsh operational demands.
