An intumescent fire protective coating
Intumescent fire protective coatings are advanced coatings primarily designed to shield structures from the damaging effects of cellulosic fires. These coatings are typically thin films that expand significantly when exposed to high temperatures, transforming into a thick, insulating char layer. This expansion acts as a thermal barrier, protecting the substrate, such as steel, wood, or concrete, from reaching critical temperatures that could lead to structural failure.
The intumescent coating process is driven by a chemical reaction that activates under extreme heat, causing the material to swell and form a robust foam-like layer. This char layer effectively reduces heat transfer, preserving the integrity of the underlying material during a fire event. The thin-film nature of these coatings allows them to be applied in aesthetically pleasing finishes, maintaining the visual appeal of structures without compromising safety.
The benefits of using intumescent fire protective coatings include:
- Enhanced Durability: Engineered to resist environmental conditions, these coatings provide long-lasting fire protection.
- Cost-Effective Application: The thin-film formulation requires fewer coats and quicker application times, reducing both material and labor costs.
- Efficient Processing: With faster curing times, these coatings can meet tight project timelines.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Available in various colors and finishes, these coatings blend seamlessly into architectural designs without sacrificing fire safety.
This versatile solution is suitable for a wide range of environments, from commercial buildings and industrial facilities to residential spaces, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations while offering flexibility in design
- Extended Fire Resistance:Provides fire resistance for up to 120-240 minutes, ensuring crucial time for evacuation and fire control.
- Versatile Application:It is adaptable to a variety of structural designs. It can be applied using spray or trowel methods, allowing for precise and efficient installation based on project needs.
- Non-Toxic and Environmentally Friendly:Does not emit toxic fumes during application or in the event of a fire, making it safe for both workers and building occupants.
- Non-Combustible and Non-Toxic:Ensures safety and reliability without releasing harmful fumes.
- Certified coating up to 120 minutes fire rating
- ASTM E119/ BS 476 (parts 20 & 22) standards: tested for fire resistance, surface flame spread, fire propagation, integrity, and self-extinguishing properties
- Commercial Buildings on steel structures, Industrial Facilities like factories, warehouses, and production plants, refineries, chemical plants, and hydrocarbon processing facilities, Public and Institutional Buildings like schools, hospitals, and public spaces.
