Overview

IRM Fire-Resistant Coating is a next-generation intumescent paint system. The product is engineered for application on various substrates including structural steel, concrete, and wood. In the event of a fire, the coating undergoes a chemical reaction to form a durable insulating char layer that blocks heat transfer to the core material, thereby maintaining the structural load-bearing capacity for an extended period.

Key Advantages of IRM Fire-Resistant Coating

  • Superior Heat Resistance: Provides flexible fire-resistance ratings of 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes, meeting current fire safety standards.
  • High Aesthetic Value: Smooth, refined finish with neutral colors that preserve the original architectural design.
  • Easy Application: Compatible with airless spray, roller, or brush application methods, reducing labor time and costs.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Low VOC content, free from hazardous substances, safe for applicators and occupants.

Intelligent Operating Mechanism

IRM Fire-Resistant Coating functions based on an intumescent expansion mechanism when exposed to high temperatures (typically above 200°C).

  • Stable Stage: Under normal conditions, the coating acts as a standard decorative and protective layer.
  • Activation Stage: During a fire, chemical components react and expand to 40–60 times the original thickness.
  • Protection Stage: Forms a porous carbon layer around the structure, preventing direct heat exposure and extending critical evacuation and rescue time.
