Fire protection plays a key role in industrial manufacturing processes. Wherever sparks, heat, or electrostatic discharges occur, the risk of fire increases. BRANOflame, the high-quality flame-retardant paper from BRANOpac, offers a simple, sustainable, and effective solution for reliably protecting production facilities—without the need for chemical post-treatment or complex installation systems.

Key Facts about BRANOflame

  • Effective fire protection against sparks: BRANOflame reliably protects production areas where sparks, heat, or flames occur.
  • Proven industrial solution: Ideal for metal processing, welding stations, storage areas, and more.
  • Sustainable and safe: The special paper is halogen-free, recyclable, and features flame-retardant properties.
  • Easy integration: Ready for immediate use without complex installation – ensuring higher safety and efficiency.

Why fire protection in production is essential

In many industries – especially metal, wood, and electrical processing – dealing with sparks and heat is part of daily operations. Grinding, welding, or sawing can generate temperatures that ignite combustible materials. A single unnoticed spark can trigger a fire within seconds. A professional fire protection concept reduces material damage, safeguards employees, and minimizes production downtime.

Challenge: Spark formation in industrial manufacturing

Sparks occur during mechanical or thermal processing – for example when cutting, grinding, or drilling metal parts. The deposition of sparks on combustible surfaces such as cardboard, pallets, or packaging materials poses a particular risk. BRANOflame creates a flame-retardant barrier that prevents sparks from igniting nearby materials and stops fires right at the source.
