why choose thin film intumescents

Thin film intumescents have a number of advantages over other methods of fire rating. Some of these include

Installation

Relative to other materials, thin film intumescents are easy to apply on or off site
Application of thin film intumescent is considerably lighter than other methods such as fire spray or cladding, thus allowing considerations to be made with regards to steel used
Our thin film intumescents are water based. This means we can apply on-site with minimal interference to other trades, allowing timelines to be met.
We can achieve a range of FRL's from 30-120 minutes

Durability

Thin film intumescents are resistant to moisture and abrasion , increasing their longevity
Furthemore, they can be top coated with a range of compatible products, further protecting the surface

Application

Due to the low volume per lineal meter, thin film intumescents are quick to apply in comparison to alternative methods
They provide excellent coverage over most surface irregularities in structural steel elements
Application via specialised equipment leads to limited overspray and therefore limited wastage

This lowers costs and is better for the environment

Only qualified applicators can apply thin-film intumescents, giving you piece of mind that the work has been done correctly
Remedial are fully qualified (by independent bodies) in the application

Aesthetics

Where design criteria requires exposed structural steel elements, thin film intumscents provide the perfect answer as they can be top coated to provide a versatile range of aesthetic finishes including metallic finishes and high gloss industrial coatings

Maintenance

Thin Film Intumescents are extremely easy to keep clean as opposed to many other fire protection options
Post installation, repairs are relatively easy and can be done with a minimum of fuss and mess
