Intumescent Coatings

Thin film intumescent fire resistive coatings are paint-like coatings which can be sprayed onto structural steel elements to protect the building structure for up to 4 hours in the event of a fire.  The intumescent coating is designed to expand and char to insulate and protect the steel.

Intumescent coatings provide fire protection as weel as an aesthetically pleasing, durable and cost effective finish for strucutural steel elements inside a building.

Intumescent Coatings are ideal for:

• Structural Steel Beams
• Steel Columns
• Trusses
• Decorative Exposed Members

Proper installation of the Intumescent coating specified thickness, as specified by Underwriters Laboratories or Factory Mutual (FM), is critical to ensure Code requirements are met and building components are protected.  National Firestop's team of intumescent coating installers have the training, knowledge, experience and skills necessary to correctly apply code compliant intumescent coatings in a timely manner.
