Fireproof protection of steel

Many building regulations require fire protection of structural steel as a precaution. The most common way to provide such protection is to apply low density fibers or cementitious compounds to the steel, such compounds are very fire resistant. Such products can be applied to steel to provide heat resistance, and can also be applied to wood, fabrics and other building materials. Building regulations require that the required coating thickness be applied. The spray is divided into wet spraying or dry spraying, depending on the method of mixing and applying the fire-retardant material. In addition to sprays, there are other options that may be superior to commonly used sprays depending on the circumstances, and are worth considering.

Fireproof impermeable coatings

Also known as impermeable fire-retardant paints, these agents ensure that the fire protection of steel is at a high level.. One of the key advantages is that such fire-retardant coatings will expand as much as 100 times the original thickness of the material, providing superior fire resistance by creating a buffer between the fire and the steel elements. Fire-retardant paint or coating will cause a chemical reaction and expand when exposed to extreme temperatures, but before those temperatures become high enough to affect the integrity of the steel itself. Impermeable coatings are an excellent aesthetic solution for steel that is exposed to the general public. The product is applied bare  as well as color, with each layer added to the total thickness of the product.
