DATA
SHEET DESCRIPTION
AND USE Intumescent
paint for primed or previously painted Steel and other metals, or for surfaces
where the surface spread of flame, or fire propagation, need to be controlled.
Intumescent Paints fire proof steel by insulating the metal from heat for a tested
minimum period.
INTUMESCENT
FIRE PROTECTION When
exposed to a fire Thermo Steel Paint expands to create a fire resilient barrier,
insulating and protecting the Steel surfaces from heat and the oxygen required
for fire.
TO
SPECIFY Prepare
and apply Intumescent Steel Paint to achieve 30 minutes or 60 minutes fire protection. Apply
Flame Paint top coat (in matt, gloss, eggshell, vinyl silk or metallic finish)
according to Manufacturer's instructions, if the surfaces are to be exposed to
view or subject to high humidity.
FIRE
TESTING Assessment
is based upon certified fire tests at the Faverdale Technology Centre and Fire
Research Centre (Fire Test Laboratories) to BS476 Part 21 - Fire Resistance of
loadbearing elements of structure for 30 mins., 60mins., 90mins. and 120 mins.
FIRE
CERTIFICATION We
will issue a Certificate of Supply upon request for each project for Insurance,
Fire and Building Control Authority and Client Records.
FINISH AND COLOUR RANGE Intumescent
Steel Paint is overcoated with the following decorative finishes: Flame
Paint - top coatings: Gloss,
Eggshell, Vinyl Silk, Acrylic Eggshell - all BS and RAL Colours.
For a RAL Colour Chart Click
Here. Anti-graffiti
system - most BS4800 colours. Metallic
Finishes - steel, gunmetal, rust, silver, gold.
COVERAGE According
to the Steel HpA Tables - 30 minutes and 60 minutes - from 300 microns wet to
3000 microns wet, depending on the dimensions and the thickness of the steel.
Ask us to calculate the coating thicknesses and volumes required.
APPLICATION Must
be applied over a suitable, corrosion resistant metal primer at least 150 microns
(wet), 75 microns (dry), to prevent flash rusting when the water based Intumescent
Steel Paint is applied. Check a test area before proceeding. Apply
in 1 to 5 coats by brush or roller or spray to achieve the loading specified by
our Technical Department. Protect
from high humidity and water splash. Do not leave exposed outdoors without a protective
coat of oil based Flame Paint. Airless
spray – Graco 1500 or 5000 with 0.015" tip. Pressure
pot – Devilbiss J.G.A 502 gun, 402-FF needle, 705 aircap, FF nozzle.
DRYING
TIMES Allow
a minimum of 4 hours between Intumescent Base coats, 10 hours before applying
a Flame Paint finish coat to the last base coat, 4 hours between water based Flame
paint finish coats and 12 hours between Gloss coats of Flame Paint finish. Intumescent
paints will not withstand high humidity or rainwater - they must be protected
with a fully dried top coat before exposure to the elements.
QUALITY ASSURANCE Intumescent
Steel Paint and Flame Paint finishes are manufactured under the principles of
BS 5750/ISO 9000
COMPOSITION Intumescent
compounds. Intumescent paint resin binders. High opacity pigments.
ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH & SAFETY Intumescent
Steel Paints are made within a low odour, water-based system, thus making them
user and environmentally friendly. However, this does make them prone to 'flash'
rusting on bare steel - always Prime first and ensure that all existing rust has
been treated.
What
is a Steel Fire Paint 'Fire
Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Flame Paint, used
as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent Paint,
which is a soft, water based coating to only be applied over a steel Primer. 30
Minutes and 60 Minutes describe the period of protection given by the underlying
Intumescent layers of Intumescent Paint against heating up effects - warping,
twisting and buckling - which would lead to early collapse and reduced escape
time. We can provide an
Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the steel to be protected, and
a separate price for the Fire Rated Flame Paint, which is used as a top coat and
which acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself.
