Get prepared for your Role after A Fire Damage

We hope you never face a major fire that halts your production for weeks. However, if a fire does occur—whether the sprinkler system works or not—it’s crucial to understand the risks and why quick action can save your company millions while minimizing downtime.

That’s why we will demonstrate live how even small amounts of burning plastic can severely impact your machines, electronics, and inventory, even if they are not directly touched by the flames. You’ll see firsthand how quickly irreparable damage can occur.

Topics we cover in this Webinar:

  • The chemical background you need to understand the consequences of fire on metal surfaces
  • How does corrosion affect metals, machinery and electronics in your production and how can it be stopped?
  • We’ll talk about PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and HCL (hydrochloric acid) and their effects on metal.
  • Why is it important to act quickly after a fire?
  • What can be done to mitigate the effects of fire damage to gain time?
  • What can be done after a fire to minimise business interruption

Trigger warning: During the webinar we’ll burn some plastic in a safe and closed environment to demonstrate how quickly corrosion can occur.
