Intumescent Coatings

Empowering agribusinesses with cutting-edge consulting in precision farming, automation, and sustainable solutions.

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.
