Technical Specifications
What is passive fire protection?
Passive fire protection refers to fire-resistant materials and systems designed to contain and slow the spread of fire and smoke within a building.
These systems include fireproofing coatings, firestop systems, and fire-rated barriers that protect structural steel and improve occupant safety.
What is the difference between fireproofing and firestopping?
Fireproofing protects structural steel, while firestopping seals openings and penetrations to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Fireproofing is typically applied as a thick-film coating to structural steel, whereas firestopping involves approved materials around mechanical and electrical penetrations.
What are intumescent coatings?
Intumescent coatings expand when exposed to heat, forming an insulating layer that protects structural steel from high temperatures.
These coatings are water-based or solvent-based and are applied to structural steel to provide thermal insulation and prevent structural failure.
