PFP is designed to contain fires or slow their spread, through use of fire resistant materials already deployed throughout the building. The goal of such protection is, in the event of a fire outbreak to provide more time to the building of Fire
Protection for Steelwork
It is a building regulation requirement to protect structural steel against fire. Consider these facts: if fire spreads in a building it raises the ambient temperature from approx 15°C to well over 800°C. Under these conditions a steel structure will buckle and fail leading to disasterous consequences.
Firepro protect your steel structure by applying intumescent coatings providing up to 2 hours fire resistance and also cementitious sprays providing up to 4 hours fire resistance. Intumescent coating reacts in a fire situation by expanding and forming an instulating char layer up to 50 times the paints original thickness.
Different coatings have the ability to protect steel structures for 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes in a fire, occupants for emergency evacuation or to reach an area of refuge. It does this by preventing or slowing the spread of fire from the room of fire origin to other building spaces.
