The Escape Chute is a device which aids in the mass and rapid evacuation of people from highrise structures, where one chute is capable of evacuating some 375 evacuees from a high rise building in 15 to 20 minutes. Where possible Escape Chute Systems recommend the use of standard staircases, and offer the escape chute as an alternative means of emergency egress. However should the stairwell be blocked, or full of smoke, then a fast and efficient means of emergency evacuation are Escape Chutes. The escape chute can also be used by people with disabilities and after a little training blind people are more than capable of using the chute, It is also possible for a person to enter the chute, and then have a injured second person placed upon their shoulders, to assist the second person to evacuate. The Escape Chute can be installed onto most structures, and only requires a clear drop to ground level. The Vertical Escape Chute when deployed runs parallel with the side of the structure from which it was deployed , Where a Inclined or Sloping Escape Chute generally runs at an angle of 45 degrees. Immediately after deployment, the vertical escape chute can be used. As you travel through the escape chute you can look up, and down, no smoke can enter the chute & to exit your feet will touch the ground, you then crouch and extract your body from the chute and walk away.

Firetex has collaboration with German company SVT forPassive Fire Protection. SVT has developed the following products in order to prevent the dangers from fire spreading along cables and cable trays.PYRO-SAFE FLAMMOPLAST KS 1 (Intumescent coating for the inside) and PYRO-SAFE FLAMMOTECT-A (Ablative coating for the inside and the outside). In case of a fire or under the influence of heat, the product forms an insulating foam which is up to 100 times as thick as the original dry film thickness. As the micro-porous foam is a poor conductor of heat, cable and cable suspension constructions are protected against the effects of fire. We develop, manufacture, distribute and install passive fire protection systems. Due to extensive product test and our own practical experiences from construction sites, we can assure that our products are. Our new product developments have to comply with stringent safety requirements to get part of the PYRO-SAFE product family. svt sets standards wherever increased. safety is required: in industrial plants, airports, power stations, hospitals and residential care homes or even oil rigs, ships and The aviation industry. Our PYRO-SAFE product range includes without limitation.
