Intumescent Fireproofing

Facility owners in the commercial, power and utilities and marine industries take every possible precaution to protect their assets from a fire outbreak. In the case of a fire, intumescent coatings help protect substrates and limit damage to infrastructure and can play an essential part in fireproofing plans.

Once exposed to the extreme heat from a fire, intumescent coatings swell to many times their normal size. This increase in volume and decrease in density slows the heating of the substrate with the goal of avoiding complete structural failure.

Using strict guidelines for both safety and construction, TIC works with clients to find the best fireproofing solution for their assets and then puts the plan into action with the proper surface preparation and intumescent coating system application.
