Intumescent Coating

Intumescent coatings are specialized fire-resistant materials that expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming a protective layer of insulating char. They play a crucial role in safeguarding the structural integrity of buildings during fires by delaying the transfer of heat to the underlying substrate, thus preventing its deformation or collapse. Additionally, intumescent coatings act as a barrier to the spread of fire by reducing the flammability of the coated surface. Their ability to swell and create a heat-resistant barrier helps buy valuable time for evacuation and allows firefighters to gain control over the blaze.
