As a Middleton Rochdale business owner, director, or CEO, you carry the weight of responsibility. You have the burden of ensuring all staff can work in safe conditions and that your assets are protected, including any buildings you use.
One significant risk, especially in commercial and industrial settings, is the possibility of a fire breaking out. Not only can this endanger life, but it can also damage or destroy assets, not to mention the potential effects on the structural integrity of the building.
Revamp Spray understands that you want to avoid this nightmare scenario if at all possible.
Our intumescent painting contractors can improve your passive fire protection by applying a specialist coating to your building, which will give you peace of mind.
Read on to discover how we can help your business drastically limit the possibility of fire damage.
Intumescent paint is ingeniously designed with fire resistance in mind.
When exposed to high temperatures, in the event of a fire, a chemical reaction causes the coating to expand in a controlled manner up to fifty times its original thickness. Generally, it grows by 50mm for each 1mm of paint applied.
As it burns, the paint forms a layer of carbon known as a soft char or hard char, depending on the paint involved and the type of surface.
The charring forms an insulating layer as it's a poor heat conductor. This slows the fire's progress, potentially allowing all personnel to escape safely and reducing the risk of severe damage.
There are two main types of intumescent paint:
