What is cementitious fireproofing?
Cementitious fireproofing is a Portland cement-based material that is batched onsite and spray applied. It is commonly used to provide fire protection to structural steel members, but can also be used to protect structural concrete.
What is the difference between cementitious and intumescent?
The coating literally grows as a means of forming the type of barrier that cementitious coatings maintain regardless of temperature. By increasing in volume and decreasing in density, intumescents slow the heating of steel and prolong the possible response time before a significant failure or collapse occurs.
Can spray on fireproofing be painted?
Can fireproofing products be painted? The paint should be applied over the material with the minimum amount required so as to avoid saturating the material. UL has approved this application of painting SFRMs and confirms that it will not adversely affect the fire resistance rating.
How much is intumescent paint?
As intumescent fire resistive coatings can be quite expensive ($4 to $12 per square foot, depending on the application and required rating), measuring the coating thickness can play an important role in controlling the application costs.
Is there fire resistant paint?
FlameOFF® Fire Barrier Paint is an intumescent paint that can be applied to most building materials. Structural steel is the most commonly protected material, but protection can include other materials such as sheet metal, sheetrock, composite panels and interior woods.
Can I paint over intumescent paint?
Can you paint over intumescent coating? Jotun intumescent paints are usually white but they can be painted any colour with an approved topcoat. Painting over an intumescent paint with anything other than an approved topcoat could require you to remove all coatings and start again!
Can you fireproof galvanized steel?
Yes, two types of fireproofing can be successfully used on hot-dip galvanized steel; cement-bonded concrete and fire retardant coatings. Cement-bonded concrete can be of either the dense or lightweight varieties.
Is there a fire resistant paint?
Flame Control Fire Retardant Paints are decorative, protective coatings designed to reduce the spread of flames in the event of fire. These coatings have the appearance of traditional paints and varnishes, comply with building and fire codes, and give the substrate rated flame spread protection.
