Thermoguard Thermocoat Fire Resistant BASECOAT for Structural Steel and Cast Iron

Thermoguard Thermocoat BASE COAT (PROTECTIVE TOP COAT REQUIRED) is a thin decorative intumescent paint system providing fire resistance to structural steel and cast iron.
A range of high quality, weather resistant decorative finishes are available.
Tested to BS476 Part 21 to give up to 90 minutes fire resistance. This is achieved as heat in a fire triggers a catalytic reaction causing expansion of an insulating layer up to 50 times the paint film thickness. This keeps the metal below its critical temperature thus maintaining the structural stability of the building.
