Intumescent Coatings are used as a method of protecting steelwork in the event of a fire. On exposure to heat they expand to many times their original thickness forming a “char” which insulates the underlying steelwork, thus extending the structures time to collapse. Consequently, personnel within the vicinity have time to vacate the building and the fire service will be afforded a greater time period in which to bring the fire under control.
