Fireproof paint products include intumescent paint for steel, water based fire retardants, kits to upgrade wooden doors and much more. Paints to fire-protect wood / timber frames & structures, are used to slow down the spread of fire in a building which aids people’s escape. In a fire, it is critical that the structural timber frame and cladding internally and externally of the building is protected correctly so that the timbers do not burn / char away leading to premature failure.

Certification – Why do I Need a Certificate?

Thermoguard Flame Retardant Topcoat is an oil based, decorative flame retardant paint used to decorate and complete Thermoguard fire protection upgrading systems including: Is applied to high–risk areas (fire escape routes and corridors etc….) when any surface coatings have to have a very limited ability to also catch fire and combust. The two main types of fire paint are fire retardant paints and fire-resistant paint. Fire resistant paint is also known as intumescent paint. UL 263– This method rating tests and certifies the fire protection of structural steel. Often called the “default standard for North America,” this method is key to testing the structural steelwork fire protection before a project is finished. In Summary, intumescent paint thermally insulates structural and non-structural timber in a fire, slowing down the spread of fire and preventing premature collapse of the building. In Which Forms Are The Paints Available?

Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment is a water based, clear solution that soaks into woodto leave the appearance of the timbervirtually unchanged. Applied by brush, roller, spray, or immersion it achieves Euroclass B s2 d0 (replaces UK Classes ‘0’ and ‘1’ BS 476 Part 6/7*) on solid timbers. Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment can be used inside or out and the fire retardant properties will remain active for the lifetime of the substrate. Used to protect timber and timber related materials such as softwood, hardwood, hardboard, chipboard, plywood, MDF (both fire rated and non-fire rated), bamboo and melamine faced boards. ES/VFR Clear Varnish Fire Retardant Coating can be applied with a brush, roller or spray and has a theoretical coverage rate of 5m² per litre. After applying the first coating, you must allow 2-6 hours before applying a second coat, drying times will be dependent upon temperature and humidity. 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. No, this is a topcoat for application as part of a system and will not achieve a level of fire protection on its own.Now that we’ve covered “fireproof paint” or, rather, fire resistant paint, it’s time to talk about the types of coatings most commonly used for fireproofing.
