A water-based intumescent paint system providing fire resistance to structural steel and cast iron.
Optimized to protect I, channel, shaped steel and hollow bracing.
It is a water-based intumescent paint system providing fire resistance to structural steel and cast iron of up to 90 minutes with a minimum number of coats.
A compatible decorative overcoat system ensures the system will enhance the building’s architectural and design features.
A water-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.
