Fire Resistance
SECTORS R30 – R120
Fire Resistance
For more than 40 years, we have provided unrivalled passive fire protection for steel structures. Intumescent coating expands in a fire, delaying the steel from reaching its critical temperature.
TYPICAL LOAD · Fire resistance time of load-bearing steel
RISK ANALYSIS
This is where corrosion comes from.
- Load-bearing steel reaching critical temperature in a fire
- Failure to achieve the resistance time required by regulations
- Skipping the thickness calculation based on section factor
- Applying the wrong topcoat over the fire protection coating
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Coating build-up.
The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.

POINTS TO NOTE
- Thickness is calculated according to each member's section factor (Hp/A)
- The primer and topcoat must be compatible with the fire protection coat
- Recording of applied thickness measurements is a regulatory requirement
