It is becoming increasingly popular to apply Intumescent
paint prior to delivery and erection on site. As a result
an increasing number of new products are being developed
to cope with the demands of what is known as “off site
application”.
Benefits include:
• Easy access to the steel and quality of finish
•
No delays as a result of having to work around other services
•
No masking or protection of existing structure or equipment
against overspray
•
Constant application conditions with controlled environments
Bollom Fire Protection are hoping to launch an off site
product in the near future to accommodate this type of
application.
MARKET IMAGE OF INTUMESCENTS
Current issues regarding the application and performance
of Intumescents for structural steel are being taken very
seriously by our industry. Via various trade associations
we are actively educating and training people in the importance
of correct application and control of the use of these
materials. This can only result in a significant improvement
in the quality and performance of this extremely important
range of materials.
Bollom Fire Protection is fully committed to its industry
and will support any measures that will result in improved
confidence for the use of these types of product.
