Certified intumescent coatings that expand under heat to insulate structural steel — up to 120 minutes of fire resistance, applied by our certified crews to UAE Civil Defense standard.
Approved
Mechanism
At working temperatures, intumescent paint behaves like any ordinary finish. In a fire it stops being paint: above roughly 200 °C it reacts, swells to many times its applied thickness and becomes an insulating barrier that keeps structural steel below the temperature at which it starts to fail — buying the time people need to get out
Specification
| Fire rating | Typically required in | Relative coating thickness |
|---|---|---|
| 30minutes | Single-storey industrial and commercial buildings, car parks | Lowest |
| 60minutes | Multi-storey commercial buildings, offices and retail | Moderate |
| 90minutes | High-rise residential, hospitals and schools | High |
| 120minutes | Structures with specific fire engineering requirements | Maximum |
Thickness shown is relative, not a specification. The actual dry film thickness is set by the section factor of each member and the critical steel temperature, read from the certified loading table of the specified system. Send us your steel schedule and we will return the figure per member.
Range
Thin-film coating that expands under heat to insulate steel and preserve its load-bearing strength, up to 120 minutes of fire resistance.
Durable spray-applied protection designed for columns, beams and heavy structural steel sections.
Fire-resistant barrier for cable trays that stops flame spread and keeps critical circuits running during an emergency.
Chemical treatment that slows combustion and preserves wood's natural look, with up to 60 minutes of added fire resistance.
Fast-curing, solvent-based intumescent system suited for exposed steel and demanding project timelines.
High-build epoxy intumescent system built for offshore, marine and heavy-duty industrial environments.
Chemical treatment for curtains, upholstery and soft furnishings to meet fire safety codes in commercial fit-outs.
Certified fireproofing paints, mortars and accessories supplied and applied to spec for steel, cable and timber protection projects.
On site
Each stage carries a hold point — work does not proceed until the previous stage is signed off. Dry film thickness is recorded member by member against the tested ASTM E119 assembly and issued as an inspection report for Civil Defense submission.
Applications
Intumescent coatings are used as passive fire protection on structural elements — steel, timber and concrete — to delay structural collapse and hold escape routes open during a fire.
Portfolio
A record of steel protected, inspections passed, and deadlines met across the Emirates.
Why us
Manufacturer-trained crews using our own spray equipment. The people on your site are ours, not subcontracted labour.
Offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain — plus a Saudi operation, so we mobilise across the region without travel loading the price.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah Civil Defence, plus ADNOC, CMW, PGC and Tawazun. See our approvals
