FAQs of Intumescent Paint Tested as BS 476 Part 21:
Q: How does this intumescent paint provide fire protection?
A: When exposed to high temperatures, the paint expands and forms a thick, insulating char layer. This layer significantly delays heat transfer to the structural substrate, allowing crucial extra time for safe evacuation and fire response.
Q: What is the recommended application process for this fire-resistant coating?
A: The paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray on compatible surfaces such as steel, structural metal, and concrete. Ensure the substrate is clean and dry, and follow the required dry film thickness to achieve optimal fire protection.
Q: When can the painted surface be exposed to normal use after application?
A: The coating becomes touch dry within 2-4 hours under ambient pressure and should be fully cured within 7 days. It is advisable to avoid heavy contact until the curing process is complete for maximum performance.
Q: Where should this intumescent coating be stored before use?
A: Store the paint in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place. This ensures the product retains its protective qualities, with a shelf life of up to 12 months under proper storage conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing a water-based or solvent-based option?
A: Both options offer high adhesion and robust fire resistance. Water-based variants typically emit lower VOCs and are easier to clean up, while solvent-based versions may offer improved compatibility in specific environmental conditions.
Q: How efficient is the coverage of this intumescent paint?
A: Coverage depends on the required dry film thickness, typically ranging from 5 to 12 square meters per litre. Following application guidelines ensures effective fire protection and optimal use of the product.
