EN 13501-1
Testing under EN ISO 9239-1 and EN ISO 11925-2 achieved a critical heat radiation flux of 10.7 kW/m², smoke production of 69 % × min and flame tip heights of 150 mm or less.
High resistance to flame spread with low smoke productionFloor protection
Industrial Floor Protection
FR and anti-static rated reusable floor protection with field-observed wet grip for demanding industrial work zones.
Product overview
Blue Diamond gives engineers a verified floor-protection option when flame behaviour and electrostatic control matter. Unlike slick commodity plastic, its textured polymer surface retained grip and became tackier when water and surfactants were applied during field evaluation. Its durable, reusable construction protects finished surfaces, while the distinctive blue colour makes the protected area easy to identify.
FR rated: Bfl-s1 and NFPA 701-2023 Method 2
Anti-static performance verified to EN 61340-4-1 and ASTM D257
Field-observed grip becomes tackier with water and surfactants
Durable reusable system in a distinctive blue colour
Wet-condition traction
During field evaluation, Blue Diamond retained grip and became noticeably tackier when water and soap or surfactant were applied. That is a practical advantage across busy industrial walkways, where rain, washdown water or spills can turn ordinary plastic protection into a slipping hazard.

FR + anti-static performance
For engineers who need more than physical coverage, Blue Diamond combines reusable floor protection with independently verified flame-retardant and static-dissipative performance.
Testing under EN ISO 9239-1 and EN ISO 11925-2 achieved a critical heat radiation flux of 10.7 kW/m², smoke production of 69 % × min and flame tip heights of 150 mm or less.
High resistance to flame spread with low smoke productionAll 10 samples recorded char lengths from 180 mm to 260 mm, below the 435 mm limit. Afterflame and dripping combustion were both 0 seconds.

Classified Bfl-s1 under EN 13501-1 following EN ISO 9239-1 and EN ISO 11925-2 testing. Passed NFPA 701-2023 Method 2 testing in April 2026 with all 10 samples below the maximum char-length criterion and no afterflame or dripping combustion. EN 61340-4-1 testing measured 5.6 × 10⁶ ohms point to ground and 7.5 × 10⁷ ohms point to point. ASTM D257 testing measured surface resistivity of 5.0 × 10⁷ ohms per square. Confirm chemical, heat and substrate compatibility in the current product data before use. Wet-grip performance reflects field evaluation with water and surfactants; it is not presented as a certified coefficient-of-friction or slip-resistance rating.
Use hot-work fabrics where direct spark, spatter or thermal shielding is required; Blue Diamond is a floor-protection system.
During field evaluation, Blue Diamond retained grip and became noticeably tackier when water and soap or surfactant were applied. This can support footing on wet, high-traffic industrial routes. It is a field-observed benefit, not a certified coefficient-of-friction or slip-resistance rating.
