Intumescent painting and coatings provide passive fire protection for structural steel and are a vital component of passive fire protection systems. These advanced coatings are engineered to protect structural steel by delaying the effects of heat in a fire, maintaining load-bearing capacity and structural stability for a defined period of time.
Critical protection for fire response and safety
When exposed to extreme heat, intumescent coatings undergo a controlled chemical reaction, expanding to form a thick, insulating char layer. This barrier slows the transfer of heat to the steel substrate, enabling occupants to evacuate safely and giving fire services critical time to respond.
Applications
Structural steelwork in commercial, industrial and civil projects.
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities and high-rise construction.
Public infrastructure requiring passive fire protection compliance.
Projects requiring a balance of fire performance and architectural finish.
Key Benefits
Fire resistance: Maintains structural integrity of steel for up to specified FRR (Fire Resistance Rating) periods.
Thin film technology: Provides protection without adding bulk, preserving design aesthetics.
Durability: Resistant to environmental exposure when sealed with appropriate topcoats.
Compliance: Tested and certified to meet NZ/AU fire protection standards.
Design flexibility: Can be overcoated in decorative finishes to match project aesthetics.
