Intumescent Painters

Intumescent paint is a type of paint that expands when exposed to high temperatures. This expansion forms a protective layer of char that insulates the underlying material from the heat. Intumescent paint is used to protect structural steel in buildings from fire.

When a fire occurs, the intumescent paint on the steel will expand to many times its original thickness. This creates a layer of char that insulates the steel from the heat. The char layer can withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which gives people more time to evacuate the building and for firefighters to extinguish the fire.

Intumescent paint is available in a variety of colors and finishes. It can be applied to both new and existing steel. The paint is typically applied by spray painting, but it can also be applied by brush or roller.
