BEYOND RUST, COATINGS PROTECT AGAINST FIRE AND ICE

摘要

In general, the protective coatings that are applied to top-sides must protect the asset against two dangers; destruction by corrosion and fires. A number of such coatings exist, but intumescent coatings provide passive fire protection (PPP) by rapidly swelling in reaction to a blaze, creating a thick char barrier that protects a steel substrate from structural failure.
