Synopsis

Coatings can do so much more than just protect and beautify. Steel loses strength at elevated temperatures. Using passive fire protection limits temperature rise in steel in order to prevent structures losing stability in the event of a fire, providing additional time for emergency response and safe evacuation of the building as well as minimising damage to assets.

Part 1 will cover the fundamentals of cellulosic passive fire protection, including why and how we protect steel structures from fire. The seminar will then discuss how thicknesses of intumescent coatings can be calculated based on engineering principles and highlight the project benefits.

Part 2 will cover the type of different passive fire protection in the industry, best practices in passive fire protection & intumescent coatings and how passive fire protection works with corrosion protection and why durability classification is essential to selecting the correct passive fire protection coating system for your project.
