Passive Fire Protection Solutions for Steel Structures

Steel structures, despite their high load-bearing capacity and fast installation advantages, can rapidly lose their mechanical resistance at high temperatures. For this reason, protecting steel load-bearing systems against fire is of critical importance for the continuity of building safety and safe evacuation time. Our passive fire protection solutions protect steel columns, beams, composite floors and load-bearing system elements against the effects of fire, contributing to the maintenance of structural integrity.

With advanced fire-resistant mortar and intumescent coating systems, the fire resistance of structural elements can be increased to 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes depending on project requirements, and to up to 240 minutes in special applications.

Thin Film Fire Protection with Intumescent Coating Systems

Water-based, low VOC intumescent coating systems expand during a fire to form an insulating carbon layer on the steel surface, delaying the steel from reaching its critical temperature. These systems provide effective fire protection on I-section beams and columns, hollow section and box steel elements, cellular beams, concrete-filled steel columns, and solid steel tension members.

Advanced coating solutions offer traceability after application, high adhesion performance, aesthetic surface quality and long-lasting durability. Their fast-drying properties speed up the application process and provide a time advantage in site operations.

Fire-Resistant Mortar and Structural Protection Systems

Fire-resistant and ecological mortar solutions provide high-performance passive fire protection not only for steel load-bearing systems but also for concrete and composite floor elements. These systems play an active role in the creation of fire compartmentation and fire-resistant structural elements.

Thanks to these solutions: structural stability is maintained, fire spread is delayed, safe evacuation time is increased, and compliance with national and international fire safety standards is ensured.

Our passive fire protection systems offer reliable, environmentally friendly and long-lasting solutions in both new construction projects and the strengthening of existing structures.
