DescriptionFiresteel 47/4 is a water based intumescent coatings for use on internal structural steel, supplied in a thick paste which can be applied by brush, roller or spray to provide up to one hour fire protection to most structural steel sizes. In the event of a fire the intumescent coating expands to insulate the structural steel from the fire.

| Provides up to 1 hour fire resistance | |
| Water Based | |
| Fast Drying Time | |
| Most loadings can be applied in one application | |
| No top seal required for most internal applications | |
| Halogen and solvent free |

Like all fire protection work to structural steel, the amount of product required - the loading - varies depending on the Hp/A value of the steel members. Briefly the Hp/A value is an expression of its ability to absorb heat. The larger its surface area as a ratio of its mass, the quicker heat will be absorbed and the greater the Hp/A value.
We will be pleased to calculate your loading requirements [details on application]
Further information on APPLICATION - HEALTH & SAFETY
Firesteel is applied to clean, dry primed steels. Primer compatibility tests have been undertaken on single and two pack products commonly available. Please contact us for confirmation of compatibility.
For internal steels, Firesteel 47/4 does not require over-coating, however where a colour finish has been specified the use of a proprietary water based gloss or emulsion paint can be used.
Acknowledging the importance of fire protection, if requested we can arrange for certification to be issued for each project. This confirms the quantity of product supplied, the square metreage to be treated and confirms the level of fire protection specified. The applicator will also sign the document to confirm he has applied the material in accordance with the manufacturers’ specification.
