Specifically, an intumescent paint is a coating that reacts to heat by swelling in a controlled manner to many times its original thickness, producing a carbonaceous char formed by a large number of small bubbles that act as an insulating layer to protect the substrate.
Intumescent coatings provide the best protection when it comes to fire stopping and fireproofing. Whether you’re treating steel beams, wood, or electrical backboard panels, interior or Exterior ,our materials offer the best lightweight, durable solution for fire protection and thermal resistance.

Compartmentation is created by constructing wall and floor assemblies designed to withstand fire from 30 minutes to 4 hours. This fire resistance wall or floor is called fire separation.
In certain types of buildings, fire separations are considered to have wall fire separations with a 0-hour fire rating. These walls are considered smoke separations to prevent smoke from migrating throughout the building.
When openings are created for building services or construction joints, gaps, and spaces in floors or walls, it becomes critical to seal these openings located in fire separations. The method of sealing these openings is called “firestop systems ” or “smoke seals.”
