The Thermoguard Thermocoat WI is a suitable intumescent paint for steel and cast iron that can provide up to 90 minutes fire resistance with a minimum number of coats. The white water based intumescent paint finish can enhance a building’s architectural or historic features. Optimised for universal beams, columns and other open section steel.
The heat of a fire triggers a catalytic reaction, causing the expansion of an insulating char layer up to 50 times the paint thickness. This layer keeps the steel below its critical temperature, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the building.
Steel and cast iron should be free from rust and millscale and primed with Thermoguard Steel Fire Paint Primer to 75 microns DFT (or alternative good quality anti-corrosive primer compatible with intumescent paints) in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Treat galvanised surfaces with Teamac Mordant Solution (T Wash) first before priming with Thermoguard Steel Fire Paint Primer. Thermoguard Steel Fire Paint Primer may be left without further overcoating or decorated with appropriate conventional paint where no fire resistance is required depending on level of exposure/environment.
The Thermocoat WO can be applied with a brush, airless spray or a roller and is water-based an low in odour. It can also be overcoated with a compatible topcoat to enhance the building’s architectural and design features.
Product performance assessment based upon UKAS/EGOLF Fire Test Laboratory Certification to BS 476 Part 21 – Fire resistance to load bearing elements of structures.
