Various types of buildings and structures are exposed to a number of harmful factors that contribute to accelerating the processes of their wear and tear or destruction. For this reason, it is important to remember to sufficiently protect them. In this article we will try to discuss the topic of fireproof coatings in as much depth as possible, answering all, essential questions. What does fireproof painting consist of?
Fireproof coatings – characteristics and performance
Fireproof coatings, as the name suggests, are characterized by a high level of resistance to the effects of extreme temperatures. Thanks to their remarkable versatility, they will find their application in a variety of structures, offering effective performance for many years. In the event of a fire, when flames approach the painted surface, the coating undergoes an immediate swelling process. Subsequently, its charring occurs, which, as a result, leads to the formation of a permanent protective barrier, designed to separate the protected structure from the fire.
Application of fireproof coatings
Fireproof paints will become the optimal solution in many cases, perfectly protecting metal, steel, wood and even glass structures, among others. Thanks to their resistance to the adverse effects of atmospheric agents, such as rain, snow or moisture, they will work well for both indoor and outdoor applications. For example, they can be used for painting panels, walls, ceilings or facades.
Why choose to paint with fire retardant paints?
Taking care to paint the created structure with paints that protect it from the harmful effects of flame and high temperatures will certainly contribute directly to prolonging its life.
High level of efficiency
Fires are among one of the most common emergencies. For this reason, proper protection above all else plays a key role. Fireproof coatings are distinguished above all by their high level of effectiveness, so you don’t have to worry about the fire proving too intense or the temperature too high.
Long life
It is also worth mentioning the issue of long-term durability of such coatings. Resistance to weathering, as well as mechanical damage is a prerequisite.
Easy and hassle-free application
Listing the advantages that make flame retardant paints superior to other types of fire protection, it is impossible not to forget the easy and trouble-free application. This is associated not only with a quick time to complete the work, but also aesthetic considerations. The paint layer becomes invisible after application and drying, and in some cases leaves a subtle sheen.
Investing in a painting service using fire-retardant paints should therefore become the responsibility of every structure owner. This is especially true for those located in areas particularly vulnerable to fires or high temperatures.
Fireproof painting – what does it consist of?
Among the various methods of fireproof painting, spray painting in particular is the most popular. They are valued for their low level of invasiveness, without leading to damage to the structure of the structure being painted. Spray paints have been produced using mixtures of cements and gypsum and are distinguished by their powdered consistency. Instead, they are applied to the surface in a liquid state using a special device called an aggregate. Before the paint is applied, however, there is a thorough cleaning of the surface.
