INTUMESCENT FIREPROOFING

What is Fireproofing?

When a structure is exposed to fire, fireproofing offers double protection; it acts as a barrier against heat transfer from fire source to substrate while at the same time the binder releases water or crystallization to provide a cooling action to the substrate. These coatings expand under fire to form an insulating char layer that protects the structural steel underneath.

​

Intumescent fireproofing is a thin-film coating designed for exposed applications and can be used for both interior and exterior fireproofing applications.

Benefits:

• Highly durable to withstand the effects of heat and fire

• Humidity resistant

• Economical – low costs associated with application
