FIRE STANDARDS & REQUIREMENTS – CONFUSED?

People often ask us why they need to protect structural steel from fire,
After all it is pretty hard to burn. Interestingly, it is known that structural steel begins to soften around 425°C and can lose about half of its strength at 650°C – These are temperatures are very easily reached in a fire and in fact are not much hotter than can be achieved in a modern self-clean domestic oven [many now reach about 500°C ]

Fire RETARDANT Coatings:

Class 1, Class O or the latest Class B, This is achieved using a Fire RETARDANT coating as well as smoke production, toxic fumes, and flaming droplets.

Fire RESISTANT Coatings:

20, 30 or 60 minutes, they are seeking fire RESISTANCE. This is usually supplied by using an intumescent coating.
In some cases a fire resistant coating may need to be overpainted with a fire retardant finish to increase protection and provide a decorative finish.

White Fort Fire Shield supplies both Fire RETARDANT Coatings and Fire RESISTANT Coatings and are happy to give advice and assistance to help you comply with the regulations correctly. The first aim of Passive Fire Protection is to limit the spread of fire and smoke as determined by the local building and fire code. This is done with a fire retardant product. The outbreak of a fire triggers these special coatings to change from apparently normal decorative finishes into an active protection layer applied to a variety of materials and surfaces, including walls, doors, ceilings, flooring and more, they are designed to reduce the spread of flame and reduce dangerous smoke and toxic gasses. The other Passive Fire Protection coating in common use is fire resistance usually in the form of an Intumescent coating. In intumescent paint and coatings (for wood & timber, steel, structural steel and cast iron), the active ingredients swell and char to create a thermal barrier when exposed to heat and flame that keeps the substrate below critical temperatures. In many cases intumescent coatings should be coated with aflame retardant finish that gives off gasses to inhibit the spread of fire and reduce the amounts of smoke and flaming droplets thus further protecting the building, and importantly, the lives of those who may be inside it.
