Maine Patent of the Month – September 2024
STARC Systems Inc. has developed a groundbreaking barrier system designed to offer flexible, efficient space partitioning solutions. This innovative system utilizes interlocking panels that connect through a robust tongue-and-groove assembly, ensuring quick and seamless setup for temporary walls or containment areas. Each panel is constructed with a durable peripheral frame, encased in steel side faces, and filled with an insulated core, making the system ideal for soundproofing, thermal control, and maintaining secure environments.
The standout feature of this barrier system is its ease of assembly and durability. The tongue-and-groove connection allows for a precise fit between panels, forming a sturdy wall that can withstand the demands of high-traffic or high-security environments. Additionally, the system’s insulation properties make it an excellent choice for healthcare facilities, cleanrooms, or construction sites where environmental control is essential. The panels’ core insulation, featuring a radiant barrier layer, enhances thermal efficiency, while the steel faces add structural integrity and fire resistance.
STARC’s barrier system also includes optional floor and interface modules that seal against floors and walls, providing additional stability and flexibility for complex installations. These modules are designed to adjust to different site conditions, ensuring the barrier fits snugly, minimizing gaps or vulnerabilities.
Whether used for infection control, privacy, or sound containment, STARC Systems’ innovation is a game-changer in rapid, reliable space management. Its modular design not only enhances the speed and ease of deployment but also ensures long-term durability with minimal maintenance, providing an ideal solution for facilities looking to enhance operational efficiency and adaptability.
