Fire insulation plaster produced in Çorum withstands 3.500 degrees and opens to the world market

Chemical Engineer Bülent Uğur Dertsiz, son of the late Hüseyin Dertsiz, one of Çorum's renowned educators, draws attention in the construction materials sector with his innovative inventions. Serving as the General Manager of Betonite Yapı Malzemeleri Şirketi, operating in Çorum Organize Sanayi Bölgesi, Dertsiz exhibits a domestic and national enterprise. The entrepreneurial engineer, who has succeeded in expanding abroad with his invented and branded 'Terraper Fire Insulation Plaster', represents the creative power of Turkish industry in the international arena. Starting to export to many countries including ABD, the company aims to fill a significant gap in fire safety. This success story reveals the potential of high-value-added technological products produced in Anadolu in the global market.

This new technology, which surpasses the limits of traditional fire insulation materials, brings a completely different perspective to the sector. According to Dertsiz's statements, the current fire insulation materials widely used in Türkiye generally show durability only up to 160 degrees. However, the innovative Terraper plaster developed can withstand extreme high temperatures of up to exactly 3.500 degrees. One of the biggest advantages of the material is that it does not emit toxic gas in any way during combustion. With these features, it creates a revolutionary difference in terms of life and property safety compared to existing materials.

The greatest success of the said fire insulation plaster in the international market has been its acceptance in Amerika Birleşik Devletleri. Preferred in ABD, where fire safety standards are extremely high, this material has proven to be a globally reliable product. Behind the product's success lies Bülent Uğur Dertsiz's international experience and chemical engineering background acquired in the country. The combination of critical criteria such as high heat resistance and non-emission of toxic gas stands out as the fundamental features that make Terraper prominent. The company plans to grow its export volume by spreading this success to more countries in the future.

The importance of fire insulation in building and structural safety has begun to be understood more than ever before, along with the painful events experienced in recent years. Insulation materials used especially in high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and industrial facilities play a primary role in preventing a disaster. In this context, the development of a domestic material demonstrating performance far beyond standards will also contribute to raising structural safety standards across the country. The feature of not emitting toxic gas is of vital importance considering that the most loss of life during fires occurs through smoke inhalation. Sector representatives emphasize that similar innovative technologies should become more widespread in the construction and building materials sector.

The rise of the Terraper brand constitutes a concrete example showing how important domestic industry and R&D studies are. This success, expanding from Çorum Organize Sanayi Bölgesi to the world, has once again proven that Türkiye is not only a consumer but also a country producing high technology. Young engineers and entrepreneurs supporting domestic production with similar visions have a critical role in economic growth and employment. Such success stories create an inspiring model for efforts to evaluate talented brains domestically instead of migrating abroad. In the future, such durable, environmentally friendly, and safety-oriented construction technologies are expected to become standard in the global construction sector.
