Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings are considered the lightest form of passive fire protection. An intumescent is a coating that, when exposed to heat, is rapidly transformed through sublimation, and expands many times its original thickness (up to 100 times), to form a stable, carbonaceous char.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Intumescent coatings are considered the lightest form of passive fire protection. An intumescent is a coating that, when exposed to heat, is rapidly transformed through sublimation, and expands many times its original thickness (up to 100 times), to form a stable, carbonaceous char.
Intumescent coatings are typically applied using airless spray paint equipment for speed and quality of finish, whilst some brands might require large plural spray equipment, although brush and roller applications may also be used. Depending on the project specification, usually up to 120 minutes, the vast majority of the intumescent materials in the market would need several coatings to be applied in order to reach the required dry film thickness to protect the structure from failure.
