Intumescent Fire Rating Of Steel
Intumescent coatings provide an appearance similar to that of a paint finish. At ambient temperatures they remain stable. However, in a fire situation the increase in temperature causes a chemical reaction.
The intumescent coating expands to many times its original thickness. This provides an insulating foam-like coating or “char” which protects the substrate.
The intumescent coating is designed to insulate the steel, and prevent the temperature of the steel from rising to a critical point at which structural steel failure becomes possible.
Spraytek Coatings is an experienced airless spray specialist applicator, using a range of intumescent paints specifically designed for fire rating of steel members. Projects have been completed on site and also on the premises of steel fabricators.
