Thermocoat S - Solvent-Based Intumescent Paint System

A solvent-based intumescent paint system providing fire resistance to structural steel and cast iron.

The heat of a fire triggers a catalytic reaction, causing the expansion of an insulating char layer up to 50 times the paint thickness. This layer keeps the steel below its critical temperature, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the building.

Features and benefits:

• Available in pack sizes of 2.5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg.
• Minimum 30 minutes fire resistance subject to manufacturer's guidelines.
• Can be top coated with flame retardant gloss, eggshell, WB satin, WB matt BS 4800 and RAL colours.
• The range of topcoats are either water-based or 2010 compliant and safe.
• Thermoguard issue a Certificate of Supply on request for each specified project for insurance, Fire and Building Control Authority and Client Records.
