Lightning Protection System .The main and most effective measure for protection of thatch structures against physical damage is considered to be the lightning (LPS) An external LPS is intended to: Intercept a lightning flash to the structure (with an air termination system) Conduct the lightning current safely towards earth (using a down-conductor system) Disperse the lightning current into the earth (using an earth-termination system) If lightning protection is to be added to an existing structure every effort should be made to ensure that it conforms to the principles of Sans 62305-3 The design of these types and location of an LPS should take into account the features of the existing structures. An internal LPS prevents dangerous sparking within the structure using either equipment bording or a separation distance (And Electrical Insulation) Between the external LPS components and other electronically conducting elements internal to the structures

Micon THATCHSAYF is an environmentally safe and effective fire retardant coating for the fire protection of thatched roofs. Spray work is undertaken by Micon’s approved and trained applicators to ensure that correct pressure and minimum quantity of 1,3 litres per m2 is applied to both the interior and exterior of the roof As the application of THATCHSAYF is to provide vital protection in the event of a fire, Micon offers a certificate for each contract. The homeowner, architect, developer, or building control officer can request this document that certifies supply of the product on site. The applicator also signs that the product has been correctly applied in accordance with the manufactures instructions On exposure to heat the first stage of protection occurs when intumescent component of the formulae foams and forms an insulating char on the surface limiting the heat flow and supply the of oxygen which supports combustion. The second stage of protection occurs when the fire retardant chemicals react with the cellulose and charring takes place, again having the effect of limiting the flow of oxygen. Micon THATCHSAYF does not change the natural appearance of the thatch and improves compaction without hindering its ability to breathe.
