Safe fire protection in production: BRANOflame as an effective solution for spark formation

Why Flame Protection Is Essential in Production

In many companies, particularly in the metal, wood, or electrical industries, dealing with sparks, heat, and flames is part of everyday work. Grinding, welding, or sawing generate temperatures that can easily ignite combustible materials. A single unnoticed spark is often enough to trigger a fire within seconds. A professional flame protection concept reduces the risk of material damage, protects employees, and minimizes production downtime.

Challenge: Spark Formation in Industrial Manufacturing Processes

Flying sparks are generated by mechanical or thermal processing – for example when cutting, grinding, or drilling metal parts. The critical issue is sparks settling on combustible surfaces, e.g. cardboard, wooden pallets, or packaging materials. This is where BRANOflame comes in: the flame-retardant paper can be used as a protective and covering material and can help reduce fire risks in spark-prone areas.

The Solution: BRANOflame Flame Protection Paper by BRANOpac

BRANOflame is a specially developed, flame-retardant specialty paper for preventive fire protection in industrial environments. The material design focuses on reliable protective performance, clean processing, and sustainability.

Technical Properties of the Flame Protection Paper

• Flame-retardant finish for preventive fire protection
• Individually cuttable for machine environments, work surfaces, and transport containers
• Recyclable paper base as an alternative to plastic-based solutions

Case Study: Safe Manufacturing Through the Use of BRANOflame

An industrial customer in the metalworking sector uses BRANOflame in their production facility, where flying sparks occur regularly. To secure the work environment, the flame protection paper was installed as floor and wall covering in areas with grinding and welding work.

• Significant reduction in fire risks from flying sparks
• Improved workplace safety for employees
• Lower follow-up costs, as surrounding areas and equipment are better protected

This application shows how easily BRANOflame can be integrated into existing safety concepts – without complex installations or process adjustments.

Further Application Examples for BRANOflame in Industrial Settings

• Storage areas with increased fire load: Protection of pallets, packaging, or shelving
• Electrical test benches & welding workstations: Minimizing flying sparks and heat exposure
• Wood and plastics processing: Preventing ignition from hot particles or tool contact
• Transport packaging for heat-sensitive goods: Temporary heat protection during internal transport

Benefits of BRANOflame for Companies: Safety, Sustainability, and Cost-Effectiveness

• Increased workplace safety thanks to reliable protective performance
• Sustainable paper base – recyclable
• Easy to use – no special tools required, simple integration
• Cost-effective – lower fire risks, less downtime, and reduced repair costs
• BRANOpac quality – expertise in technical papers
