Fire resistive coating for steel structure

Steel structure fireproof coating is a coating applied on the surface of steel structures of buildings or structures to form a fire-resistant and heat-insulating protective layer. Steel structure fireproof coating can be classified according to the place of use, dispersing medium, fireproofing mechanism, and film-forming substance.

Classification method Classifications Remark
Location Interior Steel Coating Suitable for indoor or concealed engineering buildings
Outdoor Steel Structure Coating Suitable for outdoor or open engineering buildings
Dispersion medium Water-based steel structure coatings Water as a dispersing medium
Solvent-based steel coatings Organic solvents as dispersing medium
Fire protection mechanism Non-expandable steel coatings The coating does not expand and foam at high temperatures and becomes a fire-resistant and heat-insulating layer itself.
Intumescent Steel Structural Coating The coating expands and foams in the high-temperature room to form a fire-resistant and heat-insulating insulation layer.
Film-forming substance Epoxy-based intumescent steel structure coatings Epoxy resin as a film-forming material
Non-epoxy intumescent steel coatings Non-epoxy materials as film-forming substances

Remarks:

Steel Structure Fireproof Coating

1. The steel structure of the outdoor or open-air projects should be selected with an outdoor steel structure fireproof coating.

2. The steel structure of outdoor or open-air engineering with harsh environmental conditions should be selected with an outdoor steel structure fireproof coating.

3. steel structure building of ocean engineering and petrochemical engineering shall use outdoor non-intumescent steel structure fireproof coating or outdoor epoxy-type intumescent steel structure fireproof coating.

4. steel structures for ocean engineering and petrochemical engineering may have the risk of jet fire or explosion, so non-intumescent steel structure fireproof coating or epoxy intumescent steel structure fireproof coating should be used.

5. Outdoor steel structure fireproof coating is suitable for applying a coating top coat on the surface of the fireproof coating.

6. Applying a fireproof coating topcoat on the surface of outdoor steel structure fireproof coating can prevent rainwater from penetrating the fireproof coating.
