Intumescent sealant or paint is a popular passive fire protection material. It works by swelling in the event of a fire (a process known as charring) to slow down the steel’s exposure to heat; thereby staving off the threat of your building collapsing.
Benefits of applying intumescent coatings:
- Easy application and lower labour cost: often a single layer can provide the required fire resistance
- Good bond strength and low ongoing maintenance even without a finish coat
- Will not absorb moisture which is effective against preventing corrosion
- Low VOC
At Remedial, we have long-standing relationship with Permax, a key supplier of both water-based and hybrid intumescent paints from Nullfire.
