What is Intumescent Paint?
Intumescent paint is a special type of paint that provides fire protection. It works by expanding or swelling when it gets hot, like in a fire, forming a thick insulating layer. This layer helps to slow down the spread of flames and keeps the underlying structure protected for a longer time. It’s an effective method of fire protection commonly used in buildings and structures.
How do I find out the correct intumescent paint to use in different environments (C1-C5)?
To find the correct intumescent paint for different environments, consider the requirements of each setting. For C1 (Very Low), a standard intumescent paint with basic fire protection is adequate. For C5-M (Very High), choose a specialized coating with fire protection and strong anti-corrosion properties to endure harsh conditions and saltwater exposure. Check corrosion resistance ratings to ensure reliable and durable protection against fire and corrosion.

Do fire protection measures vary for residential and commercial properties?

Residential fire protection, while equally crucial, typically focuses on smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and escape plans tailored to protect inhabitants and their homes effectively.
