Intumescent & Cementitious Fireproofing Coatings

Fireproofing coatings play a crucial role in enhancing safety by providing 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes of fire protection, or more, depending on the system used. Whether applied as high-density cementitious coatings or intumescent fireproofing solutions, these advanced coatings help meet fire safety standards and regulations.

Intumescent Fireproofing Coatings

Intumescent coatings act as fire retardants while maintaining a paint-like finish. They can be applied directly to various building materials, ensuring compliance with fire codes, fire ratings, and flame spread requirements. At normal temperatures, the coating remains stable, but when exposed to fire, it undergoes a chemical reaction, expanding many times its original thickness. This expansion forms a protective, insulating foam-like layer (char) that shields the underlying structure from extreme heat.

Cementitious Fireproofing Coatings

Cementitious fireproof coatings are widely used due to their flexibility and efficiency in both large and small fireproofing projects. This spray-applied system is designed for quick and easy application on steel and concrete substrates. Available in lightweight and high-density cement-based formulations, cementitious coatings offer an economical and highly effective fireproofing solution.

By utilizing these fire protection systems, buildings and structures gain enhanced resistance against fire, ensuring safety and compliance with industry standards.
