Intumescent Coating

Where aesthetics meet code requirements, without compromises

Intumescent Fire Resistive Materials (IFRM) are used to provide fire ratings in areas where structural steel remains exposed to view.

Intumescent products provide an aesthetically pleasing finish while providing the same hourly ratings and traditional Spray Applied materials. This group of products come in both water and epoxy base mixtures and can be top coated with a weather protectant to prevent damage from the elements.

As professionals in fireproofing, United Spray looks forward to deliver a superb intumescent application for your next project. Get it touch to start the conversation.

Intumescent Paint Performance Overview

Product Testing

All of the products that we offer have undergone rigorous testing by both ASTM and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to verify their physical properties and determine their performance during a fire. UL fire tests are conducted on various construction assemblies and data is used to extrapolate a required thickness for each individual steel member based on the required hourly rating. Selection of the proper UL design for each project is critical in insuring that a building meets codes.
