Fire Retardant Coatings

Fire retardant intumescent paint is a protective coating designed to enhance fire resistance in buildings and structures. When exposed to high temperatures, the paint undergoes a chemical reaction, expanding into a thick, insulating char layer that slows the spread of flames and reduces heat transfer. This makes it ideal for steel, wood, and other construction materials, helping to maintain structural integrity during a fire. Intumescent coatings are widely used in commercial, industrial, and residential settings to meet fire safety regulations. They are available in water- or solvent-based formulations and can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray. The paint remains thin and visually appealing under normal conditions but expands significantly when exposed to heat. It is commonly used in warehouses, high-rise buildings, and infrastructure projects to provide passive fire protection. Regular inspections and proper application are crucial to ensuring its effectiveness in fire safety strategies.
