Pyrok is an inorganic, asbestos free, vermiculite-based material that can be applied by spray or by trowel. It provides both a protective and a decorative finish. It is extremely stable and can be applied to virtually all building materials with excellent bonding. Its unique chemical composition and physical characteristics enable it to exhibit a large number of properties which in turn make it highly suitable for a wide range of applications. Stringent tests have been conducted by authorised, independent laboratories and a list of the more important reports is included at the end of this data sheet.

Pyrok products were first introduced into Hong Kong at the end of the 1960s. The 4-lane vehicle Cross- Harbour Tunnel, at the time the single largest civil engineering project ever undertaken in Hong Kong was under construction, the designers were seeking suitable materials fore the lining of the interior walls of the tunnel. In particular they were looking for a heard-wearing material that would withstand the wear and tear from constant washing. They found this in Ceramicoat, Pyrok’s own proprietary brand of wall coating. Both the Cross- Harbour Tunnel and the Western Harbour Tunnel applied Ceramicoat as their interior wall coating which proved its ability to withstand the test of time.  Currently Pyrok’s Ceramicoat is still applied in the Western Harbour Tunnel.

The Managers of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel were so impressed with Pyrok’s extensive range of fire-protection, acoustic and exterior building coatings that they negotiated to buy the rights to the whole range of products from the owning company in the United Kingdom. The deal was signed in 1973 and covered the whole of Asia including New Zealand and Australia in the South, and Japan in the North. The ownership of these rights were subsequently acquired by a Hong Kong Company Arboross Limited in 1985 who in 1997 also purchased a holding in the Company which owns the rights to Pyrok Products to the rest of World. Pyrok Axiom Engineering is currently licensed to carry out all the Pyrok business in Hong Kong and China Region.

Pyrok has served and satisfied such clients as British Consulate, Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong International Airport, Western Harbour Tunnel, Peak Tower, Cross-Harbour, HK Government, MTRC., public schools etc., for nearly half of the century, and as they say, the rest is history.
