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.
