Cellulosic passive fire protection coatings Uncompromising safety. Unbeatable efficiency. Cellulosic passive fire protection Cellulosic passive fire protection Rest assured. We have everything covered. Intumescent coatings to protect assets, infrastructure and buildings during fire. Structural steelwork is one of the leading materials used in the design of the majority of the world’s infrastructure projects, from sports stadiums, airports and shopping malls to multi-storey office blocks and datacentres. Should fire occur in one of these buildings, unprotected steelwork can lose its integrity and strength in minutes. Applying a thin film intumescent coating from Hempel will ensure that your building, people and assets are protected for longer. Hempel’s cellulosic intumescent fire protection solutions are applied as a thin film coating. Designed to expand under fire conditions, they provide thermal insulation protection to steelwork for a given period of time. This helps the steel retain its load bearing capacity for longer, allowing additional time for building evacuation and emergency response – and giving you peace of mind that your building and assets, and people’s lives, are protected. Hempel’s cellulosic intumescent coating portfolio can cover any structural steelwork project. Our coatings offer the following benefits compared to similar products on the market: • Increased durability • Lower application costs • Higher application efficiency • Faster process times • Excellent aesthetic finish At Hempel, we don’t believe that increased safety should lower your productivity. All our intumescent coatings provide some of the fastest drying and completion times in the industry. They are also designed to minimise environmental impact. Our waterborne products are very low VOC and our efficient coatings systems use smaller volumes to reduce energy and La Samaritaine Restoration (France) waste. All this helps contribute to achieving credits in green and protected by Hempel intumescent coatings sustainable building standards, such as LEED® and BREEAM®.
