Fire Protection Paints and Coatings

What is Fire Protection Paint?

Fires are categorized into two main types: cellulosic fires and hydrocarbon fires. Cellulosic fires involve flammable materials like wood, textiles, and paper, while hydrocarbon fires include hydrocarbons derived from petroleum products, solvents, and flammable liquids.

Fire protection coatings designed for both fire types are selected through engineering calculations to protect steel structures for specific durations (e.g., 30, 60, 120 minutes). This protection provides critical time for evacuation and intervention, enhancing life and property safety.
