Building fires are responsible for several disasters every year and sometimes, even holding to all the fire safety regulations is not sufficient to stop them from taking place with 100% assurance. Therefore, it only makes sense that we should take all the possible precautions to not only decrease the chances of a building fire from ever beginning but the necessary precautionary measures to also reduce or limit the effect of a fire if it does start.
Here are Five Advantages of Choosing Fireproof Paint for Commercial and Residential Buildings
Limiting the Spreading of Fire
Most risky properties of fire are that it continues to spread and fire-retardant paints can regulate or stop that from happening. The layer of paint can either form a protective layer of char that will slow down the spread and loss or produce gases that inhibit fire. If the paint just forms a char layer it is known as intumescent paint or fire retardant coating. And a paint that releases flame-weakening gases on reaching a certain degree of heat is classified as a fire retardant.
They Protect What’s Underneath
To protect building materials from excessive heat A layer of char is formed by the intumescent paint when it meets excessive heat. And protection time can last between 30 to 120 minutes, which depends on the intensity of the fire.
- Fire-Retardant Paint Can be Used to a Variety of Building Materials
Almost all building materials like melamine-faced sheets, concrete, and all the metallic parts, plasterboard, stone, brick, chipboards, fibreboards, hardwood, softwood can be coated with fire repelling paint for better security and building safety.
