Three-way Protection

The escape chute consists of three layers. The outer layer is made of fireproof glass fiber material which does not ignite even when exposed to open flame. The intermediate layer is of an elastic material which helps to regulate the speed at which the escapee passes down the chute. The inner, supporting, layer is made from DuPont's Kevlar fiber, which has ten times the tensile strength of steel. Its coefficient of friction is so low that no injuries are caused by friction.

Special Applications

The escape chute provides a unique solution to the problems of evacuating in difficult conditions. It takes up very little space is thus the only possible means of constructing emergency exits in old buildings where space is often short. It can also be installed unobtrusively in buildings of historic interest, without compromising on safety. 

Unlimited Installation Possibilities

The innumerable installation alternatives guarantee that the escape chute is suitable for buildings of any kind. It can be installed permanently either inside or outside of the building.
