Intumescent coatings

Intumescent coatings, also named reactive coatings, are an excellent solution to fire protection needs.
Based on the principle of intumescence, our IRIS CHAR intumescent coatings swell up in the presence of fire forming a very effective thermal insulating protective barrier. This functionality is used to reduce heat flux to structural elements and fire barriers and to protect flammable substrates from fire.
With high performance in the event of fire, intumescent coatings extend time to structure collapse, ensure safe escape and fire brigade operations, thus saving lives and property.
