ABOUT THIN FILM INTUMESCENT COATINGS

What Are Thin Film Intumescent Coatings?

Thin-film intumescent coatings are passive fire protection systems applied to structural steel. When exposed to high temperatures during a fire, the coating reacts and expands to form an insulating char layer that helps slow the heating of the underlying steel and maintain its structural performance for the specified fire-resistance period.

  • Protects structural steel from extreme heat
  • Expands to form an insulating protective char layer
  • Helps delay critical steel temperature rise 
  • Provides a smooth and attractive architectural finish
  • Supports specified fire resistance requirements

THIN FILM INTUMESCENT COATING APPLICATIONS

Structural Protection

Structural Steel Protection

Helps protect steel beams, columns and frames from the effects of high temperatures during a fire.

Time for Safety

Reactive Fire Protection

The coating expands when exposed to heat, forming an insulating char layer around the protected steel.

Asset Protection

Architectural Finish

Provides a thinner, smoother finish that can be suitable for exposed structural steel and visually demanding environments.

Code Compliance

Code & Fire Rating Support

Supports specified fire resistance requirements when the appropriate tested and approved coating system is correctly applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a thin film intumescent coating?

A thin-film intumescent coating is a passive fire protection coating applied to structural steel. When exposed to high temperatures, it expands and forms an insulating char layer that helps slow the heating of the steel.

How does an intumescent coating protect structural steel?

When exposed to fire, the coating undergoes a heat activated chemical reaction and expands significantly, forming an insulating char layer that reduces the rate at which heat reaches the underlying steel.

Where are thin film intumescent coatings used?

They are commonly used on structural steel beams, columns, frames and other suitable steel elements in commercial, industrial, high rise and infrastructure projects.

What is the advantage of thin film intumescent coatings over traditional fireproofing?

Thin film systems can provide effective fire protection with a relatively thin coating profile and can offer a smoother, more visually appealing finish, making them particularly suitable for exposed structural steel.

Can intumescent coatings be applied to existing structural steel?

Yes, subject to suitable surface condition, preparation, compatibility and the requirements of the selected approved coating system. Existing coatings should be assessed before application.

Do intumescent coatings require inspection and maintenance?

Yes. Periodic inspection can help identify impact damage, cracking, corrosion, coating deterioration or other issues that could affect performance. Appropriate maintenance should follow the coating manufacturer's requirements and project specifications.
