PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Intumescent Based Fireproof Coating is a cutting-edge solution designed to protect steel structures from the devastating effects of fire. This advanced coating is specifically engineered to provide exceptional fire resistance, ensuring the safety and integrity of steel components in various applications.
The coating’s unique formulation consists of paint-like materials that remain inert at lower temperatures, maintaining the structural integrity of the steel. However, when exposed to elevated temperatures typically ranging from 200-250°C, the coating undergoes a remarkable chemical reaction. This reaction triggers the intumescent properties of the coating, causing it to swell and form an expanded layer of low conductivity char.
The expanded char layer acts as an effective thermal barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer to the underlying steel structure. By forming this insulating layer, our Intumescent Based Fireproof Coating effectively delays the effects of fire, providing crucial time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.
In addition to its exceptional fire resistance, our coating offers several key advantages. Its lightweight nature minimizes any additional load on the structures, making it suitable for various applications, including high-rise steel structures. The coating also boasts an aesthetically pleasing finish, eliminating the need for additional surface coatings.
Application of the Intumescent Based Fireproof Coating is straightforward and can be applied to a variety of steel components, including beams, columns, pipes, and chimneys. With a maximum thickness of 6 mm, the coating creates a smooth surface that is resistant to abrasion and dust, ensuring long-lasting performance and ease of maintenance.
Our Intumescent Based Fireproof Coating is rigorously tested and certified to meet the highest industry standards for fire protection. It offers a significant level of fire resistance, with a proven capability to protect steel structures for up to 3 hours, providing valuable time for emergency response measures.
Choose our Intumescent Based Fireproof Coating to enhance the fire safety of your steel structures. With its innovative formulation, exceptional fire resistance, and ease of application, it is the ideal choice for ensuring the durability, safety, and peace of mind in various construction projects.

Application Instructions

Surface temperature for processing should be maintained at 25 degrees Celsius. The intumescent paint has a final setting time of 24 hours, after which the final coating can be applied to the surface.

How to use:

Interior Application:

  • Apply a compatible steel primer to the steel substrate as the first step of the intumescent system.
  • Next, apply the intumescent base coat to the primed steel substrate, ensuring the required thickness for effective fire protection of the structural member.
  • Finally, apply a decorative and protective top coat over the intumescent coating. This finish coat can be of any color and gloss level, and it should be a material capable of safeguarding the intumescent coating from high humidity and other potentially harsh interior environmental conditions. Additionally, it should provide a smooth and visually appealing architectural finish.

Exterior Application:

  • Begin by applying a compatible steel primer to the steel substrate as the first step of the intumescent system.
  • Apply the intumescent base coat to the primed steel substrate, ensuring the required thickness for effective fire protection.
  • Apply two coats of Afzir’s Spray Film Top seal over the intumescent paint.
  • Finally, apply a decorative and protective top coat approved by Afzir Company over the installed Top seal. This exterior finish coat can be of any color and gloss level, and it must meet Afzir’s specific approval criteria.
