Fire Resistant Coatings - passive fire protection / bushfire protection

CAP Fire resistant – internal applications

In Australia, there is still much to be understood about “INTUMESCENT FIRE RETARDANT COATINGS”. CAP Fire Resistant products represent the next generation of intumescent water based coatings for “passive fire protection” and we offer these important facts:

• The product is a water-based, thin film, with an acrylic fire resistant component designed to protect various substrates from fire by developing a thick char barrier when exposed to high temperatures or flame.
• Now Heritage buildings can find fire rating solutions where original ceilings can be restored rather than replaced AND thin film technology means minimal loss of detail to decorative or ornate finishes.
• You can fire rate ceilings effectively and quickly e.g. nursing homes, hospitals, schools etc.
• You can use this fire rated paint for upgrading/refurbishing ceilings and walls without having to replace these areas with linings. A major cost saving in labour, time and materials.
• 60 & 90 minute passive fire solutions tested to Australian Standards
• Areas can be fire rated in days, not weeks!
