Intumescent Fireproofing

Advanced Fire Protection with a Clean Architectural Finish

Intumescent fireproofing provides high-performance fire protection while maintaining the visual appearance of exposed steel structures. At Ener-Spray Pacific, we apply intumescent coatings designed to expand when exposed to heat, forming an insulating barrier that protects structural steel during fire conditions.

This solution is ideal for projects where both safety and aesthetics are essential.

What Is Intumescent Fireproofing?

Intumescent fireproofing is a specialized fire-resistant coating applied to steel and structural elements. When exposed to high temperatures, the coating expands and chars, creating a protective layer that slows heat transfer and helps maintain structural stability.

 

Unlike mineral fiber and cementitious fireproofing, an intumescent coating is built to stay visible. It is tested for impact resistance, rated for both interior and exterior applications, and can be finished in virtually any color, suited to exposed steel accessible to the public.

Intumescent is a thin coating designed to stay visible and be finished in virtually any color. Mineral fiber and cementitious are thicker, sprayed systems typically used where the steel will be concealed or does not need a finished appearance.

Intumescent fireproofing systems can provide 1, 2, and 3-hour fire ratings for structural steel, depending on the specified system, steel section, coating thickness, and tested assembly.

Yes. Intumescent fireproofing systems are available for both interior and exterior applications. The appropriate coating and protective finish are selected based on the environmental exposure and project requirements.

Yes. Intumescent coatings can be finished in virtually any color, making them well suited to exposed architectural steel where appearance is important.

Pricing depends on factors such as the required fire rating, steel size and configuration, coating system, finish requirements, environmental exposure, site access, and overall project conditions. Send us your drawings and specifications, and our team can review the scope and prepare a quote.
