Intumescent Paint for Passive Fire Stopping of Structural Steel: Supply and Application
Intumescent Coatings
Fire stoppers provide a wide array of passive fire prevention services. One of the most fundamental for commercial and residential blocks is our intumescent paint and coatings.
INDUSTRIAL COATINGS
Although often overlooked in terms of importance, fire damage on commercial Irish and UK units cost over one bn in repairs in 2022. A passive fire protection system is one of the most cost-effective solutions for industrial structures.
Intumescent paint is one of the most essential elements of a commercial fire protection system.
Imagine you tried to ignite a piece of paper; how quickly would it burn? Now imagine that same piece of paper was dipped in thick wax – it would burn considerably slower, if at all.
The same logic applies to buildings with intumescent paint.
Structural Steel Intumescent paint
Our Intumescent paint covers many building types; one of the most important types to coat is steel structures. Without intumescent colour, a steel structure can reach temperatures exceeding 550 Degrees in minutes.

Passive fire protection coatings
A passive fire protection coating or PFP coating. It is a layer or several layers of intumescent paint applied to an industrial or residential building that prevents damage during a fire.
By being passive, the coating protects against the adverse effects of fire but does not stop it.
Intumescent Paint Application
Our services cater to diverse project and client requirements with a variety of application procedures available.
We apply the intumescent paint to steel in layers, ensuring compliance with mandatory thickness levels specified in building regulations. We can even add a colour pigment to the final layer of the paint for aesthetic purposes.
FAQ
The scheme will fund emergency fire safety works to provide an acceptable interim level of fire safety pending full remediation. This can include things like enhanced fire alarms, fire wardens, fire safety management, emergency lighting, etc.
Intumescence is a specific way of fighting fire; it’s a passive fire protection measure. The methodology is forming a char layer that can protect the substrate and limit the damage and degradation, isolating the surface from heat
