Intumescent Coatings
These specialised coatings react to high temperatures by expanding, forming a protective insulating layer that slows down heat transfer and reduces the spread of fire.
How Do They Work?
Intumescent coatings contain specialised chemical compounds that activate when exposed to extreme heat, causing them to expand and form a dense, insulating char layer. This barrier significantly slows down the rate at which heat reaches the underlying material, such as steel, wood, or concrete. By maintaining lower temperatures for a longer period, these coatings help preserve the structural integrity of buildings and critical infrastructure, reducing the risk of collapse and providing valuable time for safe evacuation and emergency response efforts.
Where Are Intumescent Coatings Used?
These coatings are widely applied across various industries, including:
- Building & Construction – Enhancing fire resistance for structural steel, timber, and concrete in residential and commercial properties.
- Energy & Industrial Sectors – Protecting oil refineries, offshore platforms, and petrochemical sites.
- Transport & Infrastructure – Increasing fire safety for tunnels, bridges, and railway structures.
- Manufacturing & Storage – Ensuring fire protection in warehouses, production facilities, and distribution centres.
Key Advantages of Intumescent Coatings
