Advantages of fireproofing epoxy paint and effective construction process

Fireproofing epoxy paint is a safe, cheap paint with high adhesion and effective fire resistance, meeting current fire safety requirements.

What is the difference between fireproofing epoxy paint and other paints?

Fireproofing epoxy paint has many advantages as well as special features than other common paints. Here are the outstanding advantages of this paint:

• Paint with components from Acrylic resin, good fire resistance, impact resistance, high strength, high efficiency against fire spread, so it is recommended for concrete works and iron and steel structures.

• Fireproofing epoxy paint can reduce the time of temperature rise for steel, so it protects the structure of iron and steel, limiting the risk of fire.

• The ingredients in the paint do not contain asbestos (a substance commonly found in household, commercial and industrial products), which is an ingredient that can be harmful to human health.

• The thickness when the paint is dry is about 0.44mm and is fire resistant up to 50 minutes.

• Paint has many colors, when it is colored for a certain flatness, it brings high aesthetics to the work.

Currently, paint is widely used in high-rise buildings, villas, oven areas, warehouses, hospitals, supermarkets,...

Instructions for the correct application of Fireproofing epoxy paint

To complete the most effective Fireproofing epoxy coating, keep in mind the following basic fireproof paint application process:

Step 1 - Surface treatment before proceeding with Fireproofing epoxy paint to ensure quality results

Painted surfaces need to be cleaned by sandblasting or blasting to remove rust and dirt. After the first cleaning step, you should use a brush, blower, etc. to clean again to make the Fireproofing paint more beautiful.

Step 2 - Apply primer to the fireproof surface before applying Fireproofing epoxy to the material

In this step, you use specialized paints for each material to cover a primer on the surface that needs to be Fireproofing. For iron and steel surfaces, use specialized paints for metal materials. For wooden surfaces, you will use a primer specialized in wood materials.

Step 3 - Apply Fireproofing epoxy paint to the primer surface

This is an extremely important step and if you want to adjust the fire resistance time you can paint according to the following norms:

2 coats of paint - fire resistance time 30 minutes

3 coats of paint - fire resistance time 60 minutes

4 coats of paint - 90 minutes fire resistance time

5 layers of paint - fire resistance time 120 minutes.

Step 4 - After painting with Fireproofing epoxy, finish the work with a color coating

The fireproofing epoxy coating has an effective protection and insulation effect for the material. So you still need to paint an extra layer of color paint to ensure the aesthetics of the work. You can paint in your favorite color with a coating thickness between 40-60 micrometers.

Step 5 - Use a tool to test the Fireproofing epoxy coating of the building

This is the final step to check the results of the fireproofing epoxy coating application process. You should use a paint thickness gauge to see if you have met the standard for fire resistance specified by the manufacturer. Besides, the paint film must also ensure high aesthetics.

Fireproof epoxy paint has many outstanding advantages over conventional paints. Besides, to promote the best effect of this paint, you should follow the standard process specified by the manufacturer.
