What we do

MCL design, test and manufacture products that are employed to protect Industrial Assets from thermal, fire, jet fire & explosion hazards.

Taking our clients technical requirements, we may offer seals from our tried & tested product range. Or If we are unable to offer a solution from our extensive library of certification, we may be able to offer our “Type Approvals” or “Project Appraisals” service. This service considers all aspects of our clients’ needs from consultation to final product delivery.

All our fire seal manufacturing is completed by our parent company with whom we share offices and administration services. MCL employ a team of trained and time served staff that specialise in the manufacturing of our products.

We do not subcontract the manufacturing of fire seals to other subcontractors, therefore allowing us to monitor and control the manufacturing processes and delivery schedules.

Thank you for visiting our website, our specialist sales team are here to help with any questions you may have concerning your passive fire protection requirement.

Solutions

MCL specialise in the supply of wraparound pipe penetration seals that vary from simple dust covers to our flagship jet fire resistant seals.

Pipe penetration seals can be supplied in almost any size and shape, restricted only by the weight of the seal and our physical ability to process the materials. Its rare to find a seal that is too big for our team to manage.

We can also supply enclosure systems for thermal only requirements up to UL 1709 and ISO 22899-1 fire and jet fire resistant ratings. These are all custom made to bespoke dimensions. This is often useful where access restrictions apply for larger parts.

Module seals may be used where open gaps are better protected by strips of seal. All our seal specifications can be offered for "Appraisal" where no obvious certified seal system can be adopted. MCL's fabric based fire seals offer superior flexibility in use and are ideally placed where movement may compromise fire seal integrity.
