The second set was left untreated.<\/p>\n Each set then had a fire set inside them and left to propagate, after 8 minutes the untreated set was reduced to a pile of ash, the set treated with Zenova products looked untouched.<\/p>\n Ewan Dunsire the director of Bells and Two Tones and a firefighter of 32 years said the test went above and beyond expectations and commented that there was now no excuse to lose a set here in the UK to fire ever again.<\/p>\n After the fire in the treated set burnt itself out without any damage to the structure, the FP was scrapped off the inside and the ply underneath was untouched.<\/p>\n A short video of the test accompanies this release and can be found here: https:\/\/zenovagroup.com\/media\/zenova-bells-and-two-tones-demonstration\/<\/a><\/p>\n \u041a\u043e\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0443\u044e\u0447\u0438 \u0446\u044e \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043d\u0443, \u0422\u043e\u043d\u0456 \u041a\u0440\u043e\u0443\u043b\u0456, \u0432\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u0432\u0447\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440 Zenova Group PLC, \u0441\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u0432:<\/strong> \u0414\u043b\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0430\u043b\u044c\u0448\u043e\u0457 \u0456\u043d\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0457:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n\u201cAfter initial tests we were so confident with the products that on the last shot we really went for it; we went bigger and longer than normal giving the director more time to ensure the perfect shot, <\/em>saving time and money for the production with added environmental benefits. We had confidence in the Zenova products and peace of mind with Bells and Two Tones providing our fire cover should things get out of hand. We\u2019re glad to say the Zenova FP and WB worked flawlessly, the director got her shot, and the Bells and Two Tones fire crews were not needed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cTV and film is a multi-billion pound industry in the UK alone and invests a huge amount of time and money in the construction of TV and film sets at studios such as Pinewood. The use of Zenova\u2019s fire safety products on TV and film sets is making them safer from the risk of fire and helping protect the people who work on them. We anticipate this saving significant time and money for the industry as well as safety resulting in more significant sales for the Company\u2019s fire safety products in this sector.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
