As a flammable construction material, wood can obviously be a threat in the case of fire. Resistance to fire of wood structures is sometimes good enough, but when an upgrade is needed and the natural aspect of wood should be preserved there is probably no other solution than an intumescent coating.
Even more importanly, wood can contribute to the spread of fire by spreading flame on its surface. Therefore control of the spread of flame becomes essential. CHAR 17 intumescent clearcoat, CHAR 18 flame retardant clearcoat and CHAR 21 white intumescent paint, are used to improve reaction to fire performance of wood and other flammable substrates up to EuroClass B-s1, d0 or Bfl-s1 for floors.
CHAR 21 waterborne intumescent paint for fire protection of steel structures, concrete and reinforced concrete structures, masonry, concrete and drywall partitioning walls, wood surfaces ....
CHAR 17 waterborne intumescent clearcoat provides fire protection to wood and other flammable substrates, while preserving their natural appearance. Classified B-s1, d0 for reaction to fire.
CHAR 18 polyurethane flame retardant clearcoat provides durable fire protection to wood floorings, while preserving their natural appearance. Classified Bfl-s1 for reaction to fire.
