Product Information

These intumescent coatings also offer fire resistance to structural steel exposed to cellulosic fire. Zeroflame, Jotun, Nullifire, Thermoguard, Bollom andMore Class 0: Class 0 requirements are for high risk areas such as corridors, staircases and escape routes. The requirements include those for class 1, but add an extra requirement known as the ‘Fire Propagation Index’ which measures how much the paint contributes to the fire. The coating must have a very low ability to catch fire and burn. Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc. With over 50 years of experience in the passive fire protection industry, International Passive Fire Ltd provides independent estimating services for intumescent coatings, epoxy intumescent and boarding systems for structural steel. Cementitious coatings began surfacing in the mid-1900s when durable fireproofing solutions were needed. Concrete enhances the fire strength of a steel building, thus making cementitious paints an option. Over time, as dense concrete became too bulky, lighter cement paint methods were created. This type of coating is best in areas with low moisture exposure, as high moisture can cause an excess of corrosion and can reduce the effectiveness. Two of the biggest benefits of this coating are its affordability, especially for larger projects as well as its lightweight format.

If you’re a facility manager, contractor, or engineer looking for fire resistant paint for your facility, it’s best to consult a certified coatings supplier before you buy. In contrast, most fire retardant paints are not ASTM E-119 tested or compliant. They prevent flame spread and typically have an ASTM E-84 rating. If a building material catches fire, the fire retardant paint works to slow the rate that the flames spread.Are there, or could there be people sleeping in the building? Buildings below 5 metres must be 60 minutes fireproof, and buildings between 5 and 13 metres require 90 minutes. If the building is higher than 13 metres, the requirement is 120 minutes of resistance to fire.

Important fire test standards when using intumescent coatings on structural steel constructions are European Union: EN 13381-8 (Replaces national Standards in Europe) and United Kingdom: BS 476-20/21 (Commonly referred to in EU, Middle and Far East). What Is an Intumescent and How Does Intumescent Paint Work? Water-based intumescent paints give a smoother finish in a faster timeframe than solvent based coatings. Solvent Based Intumescent Coatings Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Blackfriar – for barbecues, grates, chimineas, radiators

Thermoguard issue a Certificate of Supplyon request for each specified project for insurance, Fire and Building Control Authority and Client Records. The two main types of fire paint are fire retardant paints and fire-resistant paint. Fire resistant paint is also known as intumescent paint. Alternatively, if your wooden asset only needs to meet ASTM E-84 standards, you should consider a fire retardant spray or paint. FlameOFF’s Fire Barrier Paint provides an eco-friendly fire resistant coating that’s 100% ASTM E-119 and E-84 compliant.

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about fire resistant and fire retardant paints, recommend the best fire resistant paints, and help you understand fireproofing standards set forward by NFPA, ASTM, and UL. Fire Resistant vs. Fire Retardant Paints

It is good practice to key the surface while wet using waterproof abrasive paper or pads if the surface is new or you are applying a water-based finish on top of solvent-based or glossy paint, or on a very hard and impermeable surface. It’s important to understand the difference between heat resistant paint and fire proof paint. Although it could be easy to confuse the two, heat proof paint is a surface coating and does not protect the material in the event of a fire. Fire protection paints are the most common form of fire protection to steel, this is because of how widely available and cheap the products are. At International Passive Fire we have a whole department set up to deal with Specifications and Estimations for Intumescent Steel Paint. Our technical specification and estimating department consists of over 50 years of experience in the structural passive fire protection field and is completely independent of all manufacturers. Also, all of our work is free of charge (FOA). If you want to keep the beautiful, natural quality of your timber then fire retardant varnish could be your best bet. As this provides the same flame-protection standards as the fire proof timber paint, but retains a clear finish, existing varnishes, natural wood or wood stains will still show through. In fact, you won’t be able to tell that the varnish is fire resistant, so the focus can remain on the aesthetics of your surfaces. Intumescent Paint Colours For Steel

If you are considering applying fireproof paint, then the structure of the building is part of what defines the coating you need; what is the building going to be used for, and what is the building’s height? There are three factors that define whether the building requires 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of fire protection. United Kingdom: BS 476-20/21 Specification And Estimations For Intumescent Paint And Its Application As well as protecting from the danger of fire, intumescent paints can be used to give a beautiful finish on steelwork. There are different finishes available, depending on the required look. A high quality waterborne intumescent paintwill give you a 30 or 60-minute level of fire resistance using just a few coats. A compatible anti-corrosion primer should be used prior to applying the intumescent paint. Application of intumescent paint layers helps fireproof structural steel, steel beams, steelwork or cast iron and can be used externally or internally, on small or larger areas. Intumescent coatings are generally available as water-based or solvent based variations (more information below).You can use either a gloss finish, which not only looks great but is also easy to clean and very hardwearing. Alternatively, an acrylic eggshell paint can be used with an intumescent base coat, which will give you a subtler finish than a gloss, with all the fire protection you need. Finally, you could opt for a vinyl matt finish, although this isn’t as easy to clean and isn’t quite as hardwearing as the other paints. Brands The higher the building, the stricter the requirements: a building higher than 5 metres must be at least 90 minutes fire proof. A building lower than 5 metres does not always have specified fire resistance, which is why you should always consult a specialist when considering fireproof coatings. Fire retardant coatings: used as undercoats for regular paint or topcoats for intumescent coating. These coatings release a flame damping gas when the temperature rises to extremes. This forms a buffer zone, protecting the surface from the flames. This is the most common type of fireproof paint used as an independent coating for wood.
