Product Information

In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about fire resistant and fire retardant paints, recommend the best fire resistant paints, and help you understand fireproofing standards set forward by NFPA, ASTM, and UL. Fire Resistant vs. Fire Retardant Paints United Kingdom: BS 476-20/21 Specification And Estimations For Intumescent Paint And Its Application Important fire test standards when using intumescent coatings on structural steel constructions are European Union: EN 13381-8 (Replaces national Standards in Europe) and United Kingdom: BS 476-20/21 (Commonly referred to in EU, Middle and Far East). What Is an Intumescent and How Does Intumescent Paint Work? We will then generate a full report including specification and mark-ups (where relevant) providing you the most cost effective solution available for your project, which includes:

Water-based intumescent paints give a smoother finish in a faster timeframe than solvent based coatings. Solvent Based Intumescent Coatings Previous coatings that are blistering or unstable should be removed and a suitable stabilising or primer-sealer product used if necessary. Use Earthborn Isolating primer for dry stains and use two coats for heavy staining. Do not use on lime plaster/render as this can inhibit the breathable properties of the render.

Quality concerns when applying specialist fire coatings

With over 50 years of experience in the passive fire protection industry, International Passive Fire Ltd provides independent estimating services for intumescent coatings, epoxy intumescent and boarding systems for structural steel.

Intumescent paints and coatings can sometimes be referred to as fire retardant or fire-resistant paints for steel – and sometimes (incorrectly) as heat resistant paints. Below, Rawlins Paints break down the essential elements of buying Intumescent Paint for steel: How to Get A Quote or Full Calculation/Specification to Meet Building Regulations If you need to protect a structurally critically component part of your building, you’ll need a fire resistant paint that’s ASTM E-119 compliant. That means getting a coating that’s designed to withstand a fire exposure for a specific amount of time. Fireproof paint, or other fireproof construction and lining materials, have been compulsory for years now in office buildings, entrance halls, public buildings, parking garages and governmental buildings. In the UK the general rule is: the higher the building, the longer the material needs to withstand flames. In case of fire, a fireproof paint guarantees extended evacuation time, as well as vital extra time for firefighters to arrive and minimise damage.

Party tested “Single Coat Coverage” up to 24 Mils WFT, on ceilings and walls, reducing labor costs equaling higher profits Heat resistant paints available at Rawlins Paints are designed to withstand high-temperatures of up to 750°C on commercial and industrial metal/metallic surfaces and structures – ranging from heat treatment applications, including incinerators and furnace chimneys, to pipework and vessels in chemical processing plants. For very demanding inland/offshore environments, VHT (very-high-temperature) paints and coatings are also required to deliver high-performance humidity resistance and anti-corrosive protection against liquids including water, oil and gasoline/petrol, as well as salt, gas, rust and chemical solvents. Thermoguard Flame Retardant Topcoat is an oil based, decorative flame retardant paint used to decorate and complete Thermoguard fire protection upgrading systems including:

In contrast, most fire retardant paints are not ASTM E-119 tested or compliant. They prevent flame spread and typically have an ASTM E-84 rating. If a building material catches fire, the fire retardant paint works to slow the rate that the flames spread. Cementitious coatings began surfacing in the mid-1900s when durable fireproofing solutions were needed. Concrete enhances the fire strength of a steel building, thus making cementitious paints an option. Over time, as dense concrete became too bulky, lighter cement paint methods were created. This type of coating is best in areas with low moisture exposure, as high moisture can cause an excess of corrosion and can reduce the effectiveness. Two of the biggest benefits of this coating are its affordability, especially for larger projects as well as its lightweight format.

For large aluminium surfaces, such as offshore structures, petrochemical and chemical plants and power stations, International Intertherm 891 is an excellent choice. Intertherm 891 is a general-purpose heat resistant paint that gives a silver finish as it’s coloured with aluminium flake. It can be used as an industrial maintenance coating on steelwork with a temperature ranging from ambient to 315°C. Fireproof paint products include intumescent paint for steel, water based fire retardants, kits to upgrade wooden doors and much more. Alternatively, if your wooden asset only needs to meet ASTM E-84 standards, you should consider a fire retardant spray or paint. It’s important to understand the difference between heat resistant paint and fire proof paint. Although it could be easy to confuse the two, heat proof paint is a surface coating and does not protect the material in the event of a fire.

However, these paints and coatings are typically not appropriate for critical infrastructure like steel. For most projects that involve structural steel or other critical infrastructure, you’ll need an ASTM E-119-certified fire resistant paint. The topcoat of an intumescent paint system is solely used to protect the intumescent coating from the environment that it is in or as a decorative finish coat that can be coloured to most RAL or BS colour codes upon request. The finish of these top coats is usually SATIN or GLOSS however we have several products that finish in MATT. Not all jobs jobs require a topcoat, however if the steel is external or internal in a high moisture environment, then YES you will need a topcoat. Before buying any intumescent paint for steel you must make sure that a full specification has been undertaken listing all structural steel that need to be protected. About International Passive Fire Ltd When applying a fire proof paint there are several important factors that will affect your choice: the building type determines the minimum fire protection time required of the fireproofing method (30, 60, 90, 120 minutes), and each different substrate will need a specific product and application method (fireproof paint for wood is different to one for steel). Therefore, in this article we provide you with professional advice on what you need to know when choosing specialist fire coatings. Resistance to flames and heat: the most crucial property of fireproof paint

The two main types of fire paint are fire retardant paints and fire-resistant paint. Fire resistant paint is also known as intumescent paint. Intumescent coatings are passive fire protection measures which swell up when heated (in a fire for example) and protect the material (steel, plasterboard or wood ) underneath it, from fire. As the intumescent layer swells up, it increases its surface volume, which then helps to decrease the intensity of the flames. The top coating produces a light char as it is burnt, which makes it a poor conductor of heat and fire spread. To achieve the best results, ensure the surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and dust-free. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area.

Are there, or could there be people sleeping in the building? Buildings below 5 metres must be 60 minutes fireproof, and buildings between 5 and 13 metres require 90 minutes. If the building is higher than 13 metres, the requirement is 120 minutes of resistance to fire. Application of Intumescent steel paints is very easy. You can apply the paint using a brush roller or spray machine. Typically brush application is up to 500 microns per coat and spray is 1000 microns per coat. It is important that drying times are adhered to before application of the second or third coat to ensure the paint will protect the steel. You can use either a gloss finish, which not only looks great but is also easy to clean and very hardwearing. Alternatively, an acrylic eggshell paint can be used with an intumescent base coat, which will give you a subtler finish than a gloss, with all the fire protection you need. Finally, you could opt for a vinyl matt finish, although this isn’t as easy to clean and isn’t quite as hardwearing as the other paints. Brands As well as our fire-retardant systems and basecoats, we also offer clear fire retardant fluid treatments for timber that soak into the wood. These give all the safety benefits without altering the outer appearance of the wood surfaces.
