What is the cost of intumescent paint?
With all that in mind, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4 to $12 per square foot of intumescent paint.
How much does spray fireproofing cost?
The cost of fireproofing your facility Fireproofing costs vary from US$4 to $12 per square foot depending on your supplier and the type of paint you buy.
What is the difference between cementitious and intumescent?
Intumescent coatings operate on a different principal, however. Rather than forming a relatively thick physical barrier between the flames and the steel they protect, as cementitious coatings do, intumescents “intumesce”, or char and expand, when exposed to extreme heat.
How thick is intumescent paint?
30 to 500 mils
The effectiveness of an intumescent fire resistive coating depends on the coating thickness and its ability to retain the ash layer. Coating thickness typically ranges from 30 to 500 mils (0.8 to 13 mm).
Can intumescent paint be used on concrete?
Alongside its use as a proven intumescent coating for structural steel FIRETEX® FX5120 has now been approved under EN 13381 Part 3 for use on concrete structures.
What is the purpose of intumescent coating?
The intumescent coating is intended to provide an insulating barrier between fire and the structural steel. The insulating barrier is necessary to ensure the structural performance of the steel members at the temperatures anticipated during a fully developed fire. Intumescent coating can give up to 120 minutes fire protection.
What are intumescent fire resistant coatings?
Intumescent fire resistant coatings are paint like coatings that are applied to structural steel members. Intumescent can take several forms; in general they are paint, though they may also be mastic or foam composite. The final thickness of these coatings typically ranges from 0.03 inches to 0.50 inches.
