General questions about fire protection coatings

The architectural aesthetic of steel structures is emphasized by the profile-following application. Thus, even complex geometric shapes can be easily protected. The partly only 0.2 mm thin layer is not taken into account in the structural calculation due to its…

The coatings foam up when exposed to heat (from approx. 200°C) and form an insulating carbon foam (char).

Increasing temperatures in the event of a fire lead to a reduction in the load-bearing capacity of steel components. When the steels critical core temperature is reached, there is a risk of failure, meaning the load-bearing capacity is lost. Fire…
