Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST) CEO Simon Deacon talked with Proactive's Stephen about a major development for the company’s fire safety division, following rigorous testing of its Injectaclad product. Deacon confirmed that Injectaclad has now achieved a 50-year lifespan certification, doubling its previous 25-year rating. This milestone, he said, was to ASTM F1980 standards and offers significant appeal to fire officers, architects, and building owners evaluating long-term remediation solutions.
"This really gives it the longevity everybody's looking for in our product," Deacon stated. Compared to competitors offering 15- to 20-year solutions, Injectaclad’s certification aligns more closely with the lifecycle of building materials in tall structures.
Deacon highlighted the scale of the market opportunity, pointing to over 44,000 buildings in the UK requiring remedial fire safety work, representing a sector potentially worth £50 billion. He noted that government legislation, while moving slower than expected, supports a long-term growth trajectory. “We see a sort of a hockey stick type growth in this industry,” he said.
On scalability, he emphasised Injectaclad’s easier and more cost-effective installation process versus traditional facade removal. He also revealed plans to expand the Passive Fire Protection (PFP) division by acquiring more pumps and developing an early warning system for fires starting within cavities—particularly crucial for high-rise safety.
