Overview

This waterborne intumescent coating route is intended for structural-steel fire-protection evaluations. The coating forms an insulating char under heat; system selection remains tied to the applicable design and test basis.

Cowin Materials does not publish a time rating for this product without the matching approved report, section factor, coating build, primer, topcoat and test standard.

Steel section
Identify the member geometry and applicable section factor.
Dry-film build
Match coating thickness, primer and topcoat to the approved specification.
Test standard
Confirm the target standard and rating against evidence for that configuration.

Typical applications: Steel factories, Petrochemical frames, Power facilities, Commercial steel.

Handling and selection limits

Handling / storage

  • Prepare steel, primer and compatible topcoat to the approved coating-system specification.
  • Control wet-film application, dry-film measurement and curing conditions according to the project procedure.

Selection limits

  • No 1-hour, 2-hour or other fire-resistance rating is stated without a corresponding approved test record.
  • Do not transfer a rating between steel shapes, primers, topcoats or dry-film thicknesses.
