| HOW IT WORKS |
|
ESTIMATING
SERVICE |
| Heat in a fire triggers a
catalytic reaction causing expansion of an instulating char layer up to
50 times the paint film thickness. This keeps the steel below its critical
temperature thus maintaining the structural stability of the building |

rust and millscale and primed with Thermocoat high-build primer 75 microns
DFT or other metal primer compatible with intumescent paints. Galvanised
steel should be degreased and primed with a suitable etch primer.
