List of featured suppliers of INTUMESCENT COATINGS Waterbased on Building Products Index
Intumescent coatings are a type of material that expands and creates a foam-like layer when exposed to heat or fire. These coatings are commonly used in building and construction projects for their fire-resistant properties. Water-based intumescent coatings are those that utilize water as a primary solvent instead of other chemicals, making them eco-friendly and easy to apply. They are applied to structural members, such as steel beams, to protect them from the effects of fire. When exposed to high temperatures, these coatings expand to form an insulating char layer that slows down the spread of flames and protects the structural integrity of the building.
