Proper safety of employees, protection of property, is a key issue in any business. Industrial facilities of various industries are exposed to unforeseen events, such as dangerous fires. No wonder, then, that the use of flame retardant paints is so popular and in demand among businesses. Let’s take a closer look at the issue.
Why is fireproof painting a key part of securing industrial facilities?
Fire retardant paints play many, varied roles in industrial facilities. The priority is to ensure the safety of workers or occupants in industrial facilities during an emergency. In the event of a fire outbreak, protective paints swell and then become charred, resulting in the separation of the heated supporting structure from the rest of the space. The paints are designed to cover all types of surfaces that require an additional layer to provide protection against fire. This is their great advantage. Interestingly, the paints can withstand temperatures as high as 550°C-so they are an irreplaceable insulating layer. Thanks to this property, there is no reason to worry about too intense fire and a lot of damage to industrial facilities.
So it is not surprising that the presented products have another essential role – they extend the life of the structures of industrial facilities. In practice, this means that they extend the time required for evacuation or removal of valuable items from burning industrial facilities. In the occurrence of such events, every minute is worth its weight in gold.
Application of fireproof paints in industry-safety and economy
Why should you invest in painting with fireproof paints in industrial facilities? First of all, such protection of the building’s load-bearing structure protects against changes in the ductility of steel. This allows us to benefit from additional protection against collapse, which is crucial for industrial facilities. What’s more, to the naked eye, the surfaces affected by the fire become visible, which could, under the influence of heat, lead to injury, burns and even death of the facility’s occupants during an incident.
Another advantage of using flame retardant paints is the tremendous cost savings. Situations such as a fire outbreak cannot be predicted by any of us. Random, dangerous situations happen despite the implementation of many protective measures. Moreover, statistical studies show that fires account for the largest percentage of unforeseen events. The use of fireproof paints means that we can count on a large scale of savings in the event of a devastating fire. Many machines, devices, valuable equipment, can be protected from flames. This makes it possible for us to save property and its huge monetary equivalent.
The use of fireproof paints reduces the process of wear and tear and destruction of various types of objects – this is due to the high level of resistance to the effects of extreme temperatures. Thus, we extend the life of objects.
What kind of fireproof paints to choose to protect industrial facilities?
The protection of industrial objects from the adverse effects of fire, is possible only through the selection of properly selected, top-class fire protection paints.

Professional fire protection painting – protecting life and property in industry
In order to achieve maximum benefits from the use of fireproof paints, their installation should be placed in the hands of RS- MAL brand specialists. In order to apply them correctly, it is necessary to have the right knowledge and experience. It is worth noting that the protection of the supporting structure, is carried out by applying paints of different thicknesses. The thickness of the applied layers of paint depends on the time required for efficient evacuation from a burning object. The time is determined in minutes. It is also important to remember to thoroughly prepare the surface before applying the paints. Fire protection painting must be characterized by precision, and accuracy of work. Not surprisingly, it is necessary to use the services of professionals.
