“Kovlar Group” together with the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have developed innovative products for defense purposes, said the head of ‘Kovlar Group’ Konstantin Kalafat in an interview with the agency ‘Interfax-Ukraine’.
“Together with leading institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, we have developed and put into production a universal means for urgent individual decontamination of chemical weapons components and a multilayer anti-radar paint coating.
Now we are developing a fireproof roll material for organization of fast mobile fire protection at defense facilities and during restoration of energy complex structures,” he said.
He emphasized that the production of fireproofing materials is an activity with a high share of intellectual and scientific component.
“Paint, plaster or board intended for fire protection is not an ordinary construction material, which is evaluated by the parameters of aesthetics, durability, resistance to external influences and the like. First of all, fireproofing material is a kind of chemical reactor, the components of which in fire conditions must react with each other, providing standardized indicators of stability of the building structure. Secondly, the fire protection industry is a very dynamic system that constantly requires materials and solutions with high fire protection and performance characteristics. In the last 10 years alone, the requirements for thin coat fire retardant paints have increased from a maximum fire resistance limit of 90 minutes to 180 minutes,” said Kalafat.
The means, which is to enter the fire protection market, is subject to mandatory specialized tests and certification, which determine its fire protection efficiency, which is the result of scientific research to create an effective formulation and verdict, so developed material is promising.
“The main prerequisite for the organization of an enterprise for the production of passive fire protection means is the availability of scientific potential, experience and knowledge that would allow to create a new quality product, competitive in the world market of similar materials,” summarized Kalafat.
Kovlar Group LLC was founded in 2015, authorized capital UAH 1.2 million, ultimate beneficiaries Konstantin Kalafat (40%), Andrey Ozeychuk (35%) and Lyubov Vakhitova (25%). According to the data of opendatabot, according to the results of three quarters of 2024, the company received 73 million 726.4 thousand UAH of income; net profit of 10 million 228.6 thousand UAH.
