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 maximum fire resistance duration that can be achieved through the use of intumescent materials depends, among other things, on the underlying standard: According to DIN: F30, F60, F90 According to EN: up to R180 International: up to 180 minutes.
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…
