Intumescent Fireproofing
How it works
Intumescent fireproofing contains thermodynamic compounds which will expand into a solid when subjected to fire, creating a protective barrier around steel beams and other structural elements. This increases the structure’s fire resistance rating from 1-4 hours depending on the design of the building.
Why TMI
TMI has been applying Intumescent Fireproofing for over 25 years and is a leader in IFP application.
TMI is an Approved Applicator of the following manufacturers:
INTUMESCENT COATINGS
Expands when exposed to heat reduces the conduction from the fire to the substrate, delaying the time it takes to reach structural failure.
Intumescent sprays are applied in multiple layers in order to protect materials.
Solvent-based coatings tend to be more resistant to temperature changes and humidity, dry quickly and have a smoother finish.
