Fire Resistant Coating For Steel

Fire protection coatings reactive fire protection systems from the specialist specialist for reactive fire protection systems.

Fire resistant coating for steel.

Thin film intumescent coatings can be either on site or off site applied. This increased thickness would provide fire protection and fire resistant ratings is up to 2 hours. Even though steel itself is not flammable and will not emit any harmful gases under fire fire poses a special challenge for the load bearing structure of a steel construction. Durable thin film fire resistant paint.

They can be divided into two types non reactive of which the most common types are boards and sprays and reactive of which thin film intumescent coatings are the most common example. The thickness of swollen intumescent coating could reach up to fifty times its original thickness. Fire resistance tests can be performed on either the small or the large scale. The time temperature curve for the test is then compared to the standard say the aste e119 and an frr is assigned to a particular coating.

Intumescent fire barrier paint allows to achieve 1 or 2 hour fire rating on steel gypsum drywall wood. One of the key benefits is that intumescent coatings will expand as much as 100 times the original thickness of the material providing superior fire resistance by creating a buffer between the fire and the steel members. Also known as intumescent paint this method provides fire resistance to structural steel members. They are very effective when space is limited and where an aesthetically appealing application is required.

Passive fire protection materials insulate steel structures from the effects of the high temperatures that may be generated in fire. 2 types of fire protection paint for steel structures. Intumescent or fire retardant each of these coating types are further divided by the length of time they provide fire protection for 30 60 90 or 120 minutes. Usually an frr for a particular coating is decided upon by subjecting structural steel coated in the product to a test fire.
