Passive Fire Protection Coatings
Coatings for Fire Stopping & Compartmentation Systems
Fire resistant coatings are used within passive fire protection systems to enhance the performance of fire stopping products and building elements.
Ablative coatings are commonly used with mineral wool fire batts and penetration sealing systems where the tested specification requires a coated surface.
The appropriate coating and application thickness should always be selected from the relevant manufacturer documentation.
Common applications
- Coated fire batt systems
- Penetration seals
- Fire stopping systems
- Fire-rated construction details
- Repair and system finishing
Product Guidance
Understanding Fire Resistant Coatings
Applied as a Coating
Products are applied to the relevant substrate or system in accordance with the manufacturer instructions.
Used with Fire Batts
Ablative coatings are commonly specified as part of tested mineral wool fire batt systems.
System-Specific Performance
Coverage, thickness and permitted applications depend on the individual tested system.
Specification
Choosing the Right Fire Resistant Coatings
Check the complete tested application rather than selecting a product from its name or headline fire rating alone.
Substrate
Confirm the surface or fire stopping product the coating is intended to be applied to.
Coverage & Build-Up
Check the specified application rate, thickness and number of coats.
System Application
Identify whether the coating is being used with batts, penetrations or another fire protection detail.
Tested Detail
Confirm the complete installation against the manufacturer technical documentation.
