Fire Retar­dant & Intu­mes­cent Paint Coatings

When a fire emer­gency occurs, effec­tive fire­proof coat­ings can save lives and pre­vent a great deal of dam­age and loss. At Kaloutas, we take this respon­si­bil­i­ty to heart, mak­ing sure that our fire-resis­tive and intu­mes­cent coat­ings are prop­er­ly installed.

What Are Intu­mes­cent Paint Coatings?

Intu­mes­cent paint coat­ings are fire-retar­dant paints that change state when exposed to flame or exces­sive heat. Though these intu­mes­cent coat­ings appear just like nor­mal paint, and come in a vari­ety of col­ors and sheens, they decom­pose and expand dur­ing a fire, cre­at­ing a thick, spongy foam that slows the spread of fire and heat penetration.

Dur­ing a fire, intu­mes­cent paint will pro­tect struc­tur­al steel, giv­ing those in the build­ing a longer time to escape and fire­fight­ers a longer time to fight the blaze before the sta­bil­i­ty of the struc­ture is com­pro­mised. Fire-retar­dant coat­ings can also be applied to wood, dry­wall, con­crete and CMU walls.
