Crown Paints Kenya PLC has once again set the benchmark for innovation in the construction industry with the introduction of two groundbreaking solutions: Crown Fire Shield WB Intumescent Paintand CP Floortek Epoxy Flooring Systems. The unveiling reaffirmed Crown’s commitment to safety, sustainability, and high-performance finishes for the modern built environment.
Speaking at the launch, Crown Paints Group CEO Dr. Rakesh Rao highlighted the importance of sustainable product innovation in addressing today’s construction challenges. “Both Crown Fire Shield and CP Floortek demonstrate our resolve to provide world-class solutions that meet not only structural and aesthetic demands, but also global standards of safety and eco-friendliness. As part of this commitment, our Fire Shield WB Intumescent Paint has been specially developed with low VOC technology, ensuring healthier applications while delivering uncompromised performance.”
Crown Fire Shield WB Intumescent Paint is a newly developed, water-based fireproof coating designed to provide long-lasting protection for structural materials such as steel, concrete, gypsum boards, and timber. In the event of a fire, it acts as an insulating barrier, slowing the spread of flames and helping to prevent premature structural collapse. Tested and certified by Middle East Testing Services (METS LAB) in Dubai, the coating offers a smooth, matt finish that can be easily overcoated to achieve the desired shade. Its single-component formulation also makes it simple to apply, giving it a practical edge for both small- and large-scale projects.
Equally impressive is the launch of CP Floortek, a high-performance, solvent-free, self-leveling epoxy flooring system designed for durability in high-traffic environments. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, CP Floortek is food-grade certified by NABL Accredited Laboratories, making it safe for sensitive facilities such as kitchens, hospitals, and food-processing units. The flooring offers superior adhesion, long-term durability, and resistance to mild chemicals and abrasion, all while being solvent-free and eco-friendly. Easy to clean and maintain, it provides an attractive and practical solution for demanding environments.
With these two innovations, Crown Paints has reaffirmed its position as a market leader, offering solutions that not only enhance performance and durability but also align with sustainability goals. By merging eco-conscious innovation with advanced technology, Crown Paints continues to raise industry standards, creating safer, stronger, and more sustainable spaces for future generations.
