Intumescent Coatings
Structural Steel Fire Protection to Preserve Building Integrity
Sydney Structural Steel Intumescent Coating Specialists
Steel loses its load-bearing capacity at temperatures in excess of 550°C during a fire; therefore structural steel protection is required to preserve the stability of the building structure. The application of intumescent coatings creates an expanding protective shell to the steel during a fire, preventing the loss of structural integrity to the building. In operation since 1993, Surface Works Australia has been at the forefront of providing Sydney businesses with high-quality intumescent coatings for structural steel - helping to prevent surface damage from potential fires.

How Intumescent Coatings Work
An intumescent coating is a paint-like material that is inert at temperatures under 200°C. However, when exposed to high heat temperatures, intumescent coatings react by swelling and forming a char layer that covers the steel. This expanding protective shell slows the temperature of the steel from rising to a critical level during a fire. We've invested in the best range of intumescent coating products to ensure safe, durable and reliable steel surface finishes. The products that we use are completely eco-friendly, with zero pollutive impacts on the environment, ensuring 100% compliance with OHS requirements.
