THERMORA — PRODUCT SELECTION BRIEF
Fire-protective coatings
Coating-based fire protection for steel beams, columns and architectural structures.

Editorial selection guidance; dimensions in examples are enquiry examples, not confirmed supply specifications. Tested properties require grade-specific company documentation.

OVERVIEW
For exposed steelwork, the coating is part of a layered protection system: prepared substrate, compatible primer, fire-protective layer and any specified topcoat. Start with the member schedule and the intended fire-resistance period, then establish the documented coating build-up for the project.

SELECTION PARAMETERS
Product family: Fire-protective coating for structural steel enquiries
Application substrate: Steel beams, columns and other documented steel profiles
Product form: Liquid coating in sealed pails; exact formulation by selected grade
Visual finish: Pale coated-steel appearance shown in the product concept
Member data: Profile type, section dimensions, exposed faces and section factor
Film thickness: Dry-film schedule derived from the applicable tested design
Primer / topcoat: Use compatible products accepted for the selected coating system
Application method: Spray, brush or roller only where the selected TDS permits
Environment: Identify internal / external exposure, humidity and service conditions
Quantity basis: Steel surface area in m², with member schedule and wastage allowance

REFERENCE ENQUIRY — NOT A SUPPLY SPECIFICATION
Example enquiry only: 2,000 m² of interior steelwork; attach the beam and column schedule, required fire-resistance period and primer details. No universal coating thickness is assumed.

GRADE-SPECIFIC EVIDENCE TO REQUEST
• Fire-resistance design and thickness tables
• Density, volume solids and consumption
• Drying / recoating conditions, VOC and storage life

Specify from the steel schedule
Provide beam or column type, section geometry and exposed perimeter. A single project may need multiple thicknesses for different steel sections.

Coordinate preparation and inspection
Agree substrate preparation, primer compatibility, permitted application conditions and thickness inspection with the responsible project team. Product-specific instructions control the work.

Build a realistic supply brief
Separate net coated area from the final purchase quantity. Confirm solids content, consumption, practical losses, pack weight and storage conditions for the exact grade.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What fire-resistance period can the coating achieve?
A fire-resistance period is established for a documented combination of steel member, coating product and thickness. Request the matching report and thickness schedule for your design.

Can I use the same thickness on every beam?
Required thickness can vary with member geometry, exposure and design requirements. Use the applicable documented schedule rather than a universal number.

How do I calculate the purchase quantity?
Start with the steel surface area and the agreed film thickness. Use the selected grade’s consumption data and an agreed allowance for application losses.
