! KIDDE Alarm solutions Kidde Safety Europe has extended its range to include wireless radio frequency (RF) enabled alarm solutions. The Cavius range of smoke, heat and CO alarms will be offered within Kidde’s fire safety portfolio alongside its Firex and Slick product collections. A highlight of the new range is the introduction of smoke and heat alarms featuring RF technology for wireless connectivity. Alarms featuring this function can wirelessly interlink with other compatible alarms from the Cavius collection within a property. If one smoke alarm detects fire, all alarms will activate, providing occupants with a greater chance to be alerted to the fire threat and escape, regardless of their location in the building.

Sika Everbuild, a manufacturer of building chemicals, is increasing the sustainability of its packaging by using repurposed or recycled plastic across its core product range. The company is aiming to reduce its use of virgin plastic by embarking on a mass roll-out of new, more sustainable packaging which it anticipates will save more than 400 tonnes of virgin plastic this year alone. The first phase focuses on a number of popular products, including Stixall adhesive and Fastfix jointing compound, with a view to converting the packaging across more product ranges in due course. Customers will be able to easily identify the new packaging thanks to its dark grey colour.
