Fireproof Coatings

Firestop Coating Benefits

Coatings add fire protection benefits to a variety of construction substrates. They are also easy to apply – simply spray or roll on.

Use on Many Substrates

Firestop coatings can be used on a variety of construction surfaces. These substrates include wood joists, gypsum and exposed structural steel members. You can even use coatings on top of spray polyurethane foam insulation in spaces such as attics and wall cavities. No matter your application, you can find a coating to use.

Added Safety

These coatings add a level of passive fire protection throughout a structure. They can protect surfaces from high temperatures and fire. When exposed to heat, these firestop coatings increase in volume and decrease in density. In order to comply with building codes, they require listing, approval and compliance in installed configurations.

Easy to Apply

One of the great things about firestop coatings is that they are easy to apply. You can roll some products on, just like regular paint. Other firestop sprays can be applied with a commercial grade airless sprayer. They also come in multiple colors, so your coatings do not detract from the look of your finished construction project.

Firestop Coating Accessory Types

Firestop coatings come in several varieties. All are easy to apply and offer fire protection benefits. Choose the right coating for your specific application.

Thermal Barrier

Thermal barrier coatings are also referred to as TBCs. They are advanced material systems that are applied to metallic surfaces that operate a high temperatures. Some applications even include use in gas turbine or airplane engines. As a coating, thermal barriers insulate components from large, prolonged heat loads.

Paint

Intumescent paints have the ability to be applied to many different types of building materials. These substrates include structural steel, sheet metal, sheetrock, wood and more. Intumescent paints can be applied by spray, brush or roll-on application.
