Fire Resistant (Intumescent) Coatings.

Fire RESISTANT coatings create an insulating char barrier, preventing the passage of flames, when exposed to fire. The degree of fire resistance is quoted for a set period of time - generally 30 or 60 minutes.

To create a char barrier these coatings incorporate fire resistant, intumescent (swelling / expanding) materials. These coatings are independently tested, to BSI standards, to ensure that they will provide the claimed 30 or 60 minute resistance to heat from a fire. Coatings may be coloured or colourless.

Development and expansion of intumescent paint char. Fire resistant and fire retardant coatings can be used in combination: for example, a fire resistant coating could be overpainted with a fire retardant coating to maximise protection and / or for decorative reasons.

Fire Retardant Coatings.

Fire RETARDANT paints emit fire dampening gas(es) to impede the spread of flame and flaming droplets.

The flame retardation achieved is specified as 'Class 0', 'Class 1' or 'Class B'.

Coatings take the form of clear varnishes and coloured topcoats.
