How Do Intumescent Coatings Work?

Intumescent coatings work via a chemical reaction when exposed to heat. They expand and form a carbonaceous char, which acts as a thermal insulator. This char layer delays the temperature rise in the substrate, providing fire protection for a certain duration.

Where Are Intumescent Coatings Used?

These coatings are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, especially in structures where fire resistance is crucial, such as steel structures in high-rise buildings, airports, oil refineries, and warehouses. They are also utilized in infrastructure projects like bridges and tunnels.

What Are Intumescent Coatings?

Intumescent coatings are fire-resistant coatings applied to steel and other structural materials. They swell when exposed to high temperatures, creating a layer of insulating char that slows down the transfer of heat, protecting the underlying material from fire damage.
