Fire-resistant coatings

Fire-resistant coatings for structures are a component of passive fire protection that limit heat transfer to load-bearing elements and ensure their stability for the duration of the required fire resistance.

These are primarily intumescent coatings, which react by expanding at elevated temperatures and forming a thermal insulation layer. This layer slows the rise in the structure’s temperature and delays the loss of its load-bearing capacity.

Fire-resistant coatings are applied as a multi-layer system, typically combining a primer, a reactive layer, and a protective topcoat. The key parameter is achieving the designed thickness of the coating system and adhering to the application specifications, as the final thickness determines the structure’s fire resistance.

Professional application ensures long-term functionality, stable protection, and a high-quality final appearance without the need for further intervention during the structure’s service life.

The final appearance can be customized to meet the client’s requirements. The surface can be finished with a topcoat in a wide range of colors, allowing it to be coordinated with the interior design.
