Intumescent Coating for Structural Steel
Intumescent Coatings
Provide an aesthetic fire protection solution that combines performance with architectural appeal. Australian Fire Rating (AFR) offers specialist intumescent coating applications for structural steel, helping clients achieve required Fire Resistance Levels while maintaining the appearance of exposed steelwork.
Structural steel can quickly reach critical temperatures during a fire, causing it to weaken and potentially compromise the stability of the building. Fire spray coatings create an insulating barrier around the steel, significantly slowing heat transfer and allowing the structure to maintain its loadbearing capacity for longer. This added protection provides valuable time for occupant evacuation and emergency response efforts.
