Fernox Central Heating Protector F1

Fernox Central Heating Protector F1 is a leading chemical water treatment designed to prevent corrosion and limescale formation in domestic central heating systems. Originally established in the United Kingdom in 1964 by Peter Muetzel, Fernox pioneered the market for water treatment chemicals and is credited with being the first company of its kind in the world. Its mission has consistently focused on improving energy efficiency and extending the lifespan of boiler systems.

Over the decades, Fernox has undergone changes in corporate ownership. After being owned by various industrial conglomerates, including MacDermid Performance Solutions (under Platform Specialty Products Corporation), the brand is now part of the MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions family. As of 2024 and beyond, the ultimate corporate owner is Element Solutions Inc (ESI), a global diversified specialty chemicals company headquartered in the United States. While the brand maintains a strong British heritage and significant manufacturing presence in the UK, it operates as a global entity with distribution and production capabilities supporting various international markets.
