Intumescent Coatings

Intumescent materials are a principal component of passive fire protection and can be classified as substances that swell when exposed to heat. This reaction is used to great effect to seal penetrations in otherwise fire-resistant walls, floors and ceilings. Let APC Services of New England assist in estimating and delivering those benefits.

Why Are Intumescent Coatings Needed?

In a fire it is critical that the structural frame of the building is protected correctly so that the materials do not reach their critical failure temperature, potentially causing the building to collapse. Intumescent paint not only prevents this from happening, but it slows down the spread of a fire, giving more time to evacuate buildings safely and thus potentially saving lives.
