Intumescent Fire Rated Paint Sydney
Why Do We Need Fire Rated Paint For Buildings?
Since steel is a highly versatile and strong substance, increasingly modernbuildings in Australia have a steel backbone. However, unprotected steel cannot withstand the heat from a fire, and an unprotected steel building can collapse in the event of a fire if temperatures exceed 300 C. That is why you need a protective layer that insulates the structural steel of the building from fire. Fire-rated paint on structural steel acts as a protective barrier between the heat and the steel, thereby offering fire protection to the building for a duration of close to 120 minutes. During this period, firefighters can get the fire under control, and the damage to the building can be minimised.
Pro Plaster N Paint is a fully authorised applicator of fire-rated paints of all kinds to commercial, residential, and industrial building structures.
Some of the characteristics of fire-resistant paints that we apply are:
- Durable Protection – Our experts have been using fire-rated paints for numerous years and hence know the art of properly applying the paint on vari ous substrates that help the protective paint to last for decades together.
- Fire Protection – We use fire-rated paint approved by all regulatory authorities conforming to all Australian standards to offer fire protection for as long as 120 minutes.
- Suitability for various substrates – We are well-equipped to apply fire rated paints for substrates including wood, structural steel, concrete, plastic, and so on.
Types of Fire Rated Paints:
1. Fire retardant paint – This type of paint on burning releases a flame extinguishing or flame damping gas that
reduces the oxygen levels near the fire, thereby preventing further spread of the fire.Such paint is more
suitable for wooden substrates.
2. Intumescent paint – Such paint swells when heated to temperatures of around 200 C, forming a solid-like
charred layer that prevents further spread of fire for some time.
Pro Plaster N Paint provides a complete fire protection solution for your buildings by applying both these types
of paints together. We are adept at handling and using both these types of Fire Rated Paints.
