Before you specify a fire-protective coating.
Start with the steel, the environment and the tested system.
Define the project first
Include the project country, required fire-resistance period, steel member geometry and whether the exposure is internal or external. Share the design reference where one has already been selected. Without that context, a thickness or a generic product label is not enough to establish suitability.
Match the documented construction
UL Solutions explains that intumescent coating designs include thickness tables tied to steel shapes and required fire-resistance ratings. Check that the proposed member and application fall within the documented scope. This is a project verification step, not a general THERMORA performance claim.
Build an enquiry package
Ask for the exact product grade, technical and safety data sheets, applicable test documentation and the proposed primer and topcoat system. Include the installation environment and the inspection requirements from your project specification. Confirm acceptance with the responsible project professional.
This is a general enquiry guide, not a design specification or installation instruction. Consult the responsible project professional and the selected product’s documentation.
