About Us
Global expertise. Local solution.
FireProtek was born at the intersection of global innovation and local need. Through Researpa, our founders have done R&D for clients across US, UK, Australia, Singapore, and India. While solving technical challenges for global clients, we recognized a critical need at home: protecting Kashmir’s wooden heritage from fire.
Protecting Kashmir’s Heritage, One Home at a Time
🏢 Building Safety
FireProtek delays ignition by 30-60 minutes and reduces flame spread by 70-80%, giving critical evacuation time while maintaining wood’s natural beauty.
🏛️ Heritage Preservation
Developed by local chemical engineers, FireProtek protects Kashmir’s iconic Khatamband ceilings, walnut interiors, and traditional wooden structures.
🏠Economic Impact
WE are making fire protection accessible and affordable, building safer communities while strengthening the regional economy through local manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
It looks, feels, and applies exactly like traditional polish, but with intumescent fire retardant technology built in. During a fire, the coating expands, forming a protective char layer that slows flame spread and reduces smoke. In normal conditions, it’s completely invisible with a crystal-clear finish.
Bottom line: Same polish you know. Added fire protection you need.
No. Our formula is crystal-clear and preserves the natural grain, color, and texture of wood. Whether it’s walnut, deodar, or pine-your Khatamband ceilings and carved woodwork will look exactly as they should. The fire protection is completely invisible.
Bottom line: Beauty first. Safety included.
The fire-retardant properties are permanent as long as the coating remains intact. Unlike topical sprays that degrade over time, our intumescent technology is chemically bonded to the wood surface. Normal wear and tear won’t affect fire protection-only physical damage to the coating itself.
Bottom line: Apply once. Protected for years.
If you can apply traditional polish, you can apply ours. Use the same tools (brush, roller, or spray), same technique, same drying time. For large projects, heritage sites, or government buildings, we recommend professional applicators for proper coverage-but the process is identical to what is required for traditional polish.
Bottom line: DIY-friendly for homes. Professional support available for larger projects.
Absolutely. Our formula is water-based with Zero VOC (Harmful Chemicals) content, making it safe for indoor application even during Kashmir’s harsh winters when homes are sealed tight. No harsh fumes. No toxic chemicals. Safe for families, children, and pets once dried.
Bottom line: Eco-friendly and family-safe.
Yes. It works on new wood, old wood, previously polished wood, and even restored heritage wood. For best results on previously finished surfaces, light sanding may be needed for proper adhesion-just like applying any new polish.
Bottom line: Works on any wood, any age.
Our fire-retardant polish costs slightly more than traditional polish alone. Plus, you save on labor costs (one application instead of two) and time. It’s the most cost-effective way to get both beauty and fire protection.
Bottom line: One product. Lower total cost.
When exposed to flames or high heat (typically above 200°C), the intumescent coating expands and forms a thick, insulating char layer. This char acts as a barrier, slowing heat transfer to the wood beneath, reducing flame spread, and minimizing smoke production. It buys critical evacuation time—often 30-60 minutes depending on wood thickness and fire intensity.
Bottom line: Slows fire. Saves property and lives.
Our polish significantly slows fire spread and reduces damage. No coating can make wood completely immune to fire. It dramatically improves safety, but doesn’t eliminate all risk. It’s one critical layer of protection in fire safety strategy.
Bottom line: Fire-retardant, not fireproof. But it makes a life-saving difference.
Yes. Our product is tested and certified. We provide complete documentation including test reports, safety data sheets, and technical specifications for architects, contractors, and government procurement.
Bottom line: Tested, certified, documented.
