Fire Retardant Paints

UGAMCOAT 141098 SB Fire Retardant Paint for Interior Structural Steel

UGAMCOAT 141098 SB System is tested and certified for 2 hour rating by Government of India's National Test House Mumbai.

We are specialized in manufacturing Fire retardant coatings. Product widely being used as fire retardant for buildings, furniture, electrical appliances, electrical lines and near flammable area to avoid fire hazards. We have separate coatings for walls, wood, cable and steel. For steel we have different coatings for interior atmosphere and exterior atmosphere. The fire ratings of the coating depend on the thickness of the coating and are directly proportional to the thickness. Fire rating means the surface will be protected for that much time. These ratings are 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes or half hour, one hour and two hours. The purpose is for getting the time till help arrives to protect property and lives. These coatings require fire rated primer followed by fire retardant intermediate coating and then finally the topcoat on the top. Primer is applied in single coat and is different for different surfaces. Intermediate coating thickness is different for different ratings and different surfaces. The topcoat requires two coats. The topcoat is necessary for protection of intermediate coat and also for providing aesthetic value to the surface. We provide the test certificate for each batch we produce and the tests are done as per ASTM test procedures.

FEATURES:

It is useful for all raw wood, paper, fabric or thatched roof. This makes the surface fire resistant. But since it is non intumescent coating it does not specify any time limit for fire resistance. It does not allow the surface to catch the fire till high intensity thereby reducing the chances of fire spread. The products coated with this should not be washed. Wood can be coated with clear varnishes or finishes. It is specially used in Hotels, or buildings requiring wooden finish visible

HOW IT WORKS:

It releases water molecules once exposed to fire. It also forms charred layer to prevent the area from receiving oxygen and stopping the spread of flame. It also releases some gasses, which prevent the oxygen from reaching nearest surrounding. Finally when the temperature crosses 250 degrees Celsius, it forms foam and protects the structural steel from getting heat for conduction and convection. Due to the heat blockage, the steel does not melt and also does not pass heat to other rooms. Hence due to lack of oxygen, presence of water and prevention of spread of flame, the fire does not spread and gets retarded.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Prepare surface by shot blasting, hydro blasting, chemical cleaning or mechanical cleaning to accept primer. Then apply UGAM EP FIRE RETARDANT PRIMER to surface followed by UGAMCOAT 141098 after minimum interval of 8 hours. Repeat application of UGAMCOAT 141098 every 8 hours, till you achieve required film thickness for desired time rating. Minimum film thickness should be as specified above. After application of final coat of UGAMCOAT 141098, allow 24 hours to cure. Then apply two coats of UGAMCOAT 141098 having interval of 8 hours between coats. Once exposed to fire, the surface should be repainted.

PROJECTS COMPLETED:

The technical specification is correct to the best of our knowledge and under test conditions and we do not accept any liability towards misuse and contents of it. Product must be tested for specific use prior to use.
