The application of intumescent coatings to steel structures in building projects is PFP CONTRACTORS’s area of expertise. Our extensive technological expertise allows us to reinforce surfaces and structural components quickly and efficiently without sacrificing their fundamental features are attractive finishes. This enables us to implement the highest quality control standards available giving clients peace of mind that their projects adhere to all applicable building laws. 

 

By delaying the time, it takes for steel to reach its “critical temperature” intumescent paint shields structural steel from damage. The design of the building can affect the critical temperature. Steel will start to lose its nominal integrity and load-bearing capacity once it hits its critical temperature, which raises the possibility of structure collapse. 

 

The chemical characteristics of intumescent paints or sealants experience an endothermic process in the case of a fire. This indicates that the paint will expand into a coating of carbonaceous char when temperature go up. When it solidifies these covers steel beams, columns and other structural components to provide protection without impairing their basic functionality or mechanical characteristics. As a result, the steel will resist fire longer while the building is being evacuated. 

 

Our clients may rest easy knowing that their projects are completely shielded from structural fire damage thanks to our direction and technical advice.
