Fire Protective Epoxy Intumescent Coatings

Product Description

UGAMCOAT 141098 EP Fire Retardant Paint for Exterior Structural Steel

UGAMCOAT 141098 EP System is tested and certified for 2 hour rating by Government of India's National Test House Mumbai.

We are specialized in manufacturing Fire retardant coatings. Product widely being used as fire retardant for buildings, furniture, electrical appliances, electrical lines and near flammable area to avoid fire hazards. We have separate coatings for walls, wood, cable and steel. For steel we have different coatings for interior atmosphere and exterior atmosphere. The fire ratings of the coating depend on the thickness of the coating and are directly proportional to the thickness. Fire rating means the surface will be protected for that much time. These ratings are 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes or half hour, one hour and two hours. The purpose is for getting the time till help arrives to protect property and lives. These coatings require fire rated primer followed by fire retardant intermediate coating and then finally the topcoat on the top. Primer is applied in single coat and is different for different surfaces. Intermediate coating thickness is different for different ratings and different surfaces. The topcoat requires two coats. The topcoat is necessary for protection of intermediate coat and also for providing aesthetic value to the surface. We provide the test certificate for each batch we produce and the tests are done as per ASTM test procedures.

FEATURES:

UGAMCOAT 141098 EP is designed for use on steel surfaces exposed to weathering and for tanks of petroleum products. Exposed fire exits, external staircases, columns, beams etc should be coated with this coating.

HOW IT WORKS:

It releases water molecules once exposed to fire. It also forms charred layer to prevent the area from receiving oxygen and stopping the spread of flame. It also releases some gasses, which prevent the oxygen from reaching nearest surrounding. Finally when the temperature crosses 250 degrees Celsius, it forms foam and protects the structural steel from getting heat for conduction and convection. Due to the heat blockage, the steel does not melt and also does not pass heat to other areas. This also blocks Oxygen to surrounding area. Hence due to lack of oxygen, presence of water and prevention of spread of flame, the fire does not spread and gets retarded.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

1) The metal surface will be sanded down to remove loose dirt, dust, loose primer coated or oil from the surface.

2) Then single coat of UGAM F R PRIMER EP for intumescent coatings will be applied to the surface after mixing base with hardener in 4:1 ratio and with roller.

3) After curing of minimum eight hours, first coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

4) After curing of minimum eight hours, second coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

5) After curing of minimum eight hours, third coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

6) After curing of minimum eight hours, fourth coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

7) After curing of minimum eight hours, fifth coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

8) After curing of minimum eight hours, sixth coat of UGAMCOAT 141098 EP will be applied with the help of roller again after mixing of base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

9) After curing of 12 hours, the DFT will be checked and further coats requirement will be decided if require.

10) After minimum 12 hours of application of last coat as above, first coat of UGAM P U F R topcoat will be applied with help of roller after mixing base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

11) Finally after minimum 8 hours of application, second coat of UGAM P U F R topcoat will be applied with help of roller after mixing base with hardener in 4:1 proportion.

12) The surface will be ready to take in use after 24 hours of application of final coat.

13) The final dry film thickness will be around 1800 microns for 2 hours fire rating.
