Intumescent paints for fire protection of wood and steel

Products are both white and transparent, water-borne. These products are described as intumescent

paints and they are optimized for different fire scenarios in both loadbearing structures and surface

reaction to fire protection. Intumescent paints are optimized for 30 to 120 minutes fire protection. As

surface protection the product reaches Euroclass Bs1, d0 on a wooden based surface.

In the event of a fire, the paint is transformed into a thick, porous foam layer that delays the flow of

heat to the treated structure.

The product can be applied using brushes, rollers or sprays. Details concerning surface pre-treatment,

application requirements and drying behaviour can be seen in the current technical information sheet

(see www.protega.se).
