Intumescent Fire Protection Technical Support

Technical Expertise – The Key to A Successful Coating Process

Mitigating potential fire damage to steel structures requires more than choosing the right fire protective coating. Sherwin-Williams also offers expert assistance to optimize the application process.

Collaborative work is essential to help our customers in their quest to construct fire-safe buildings and understand the complexity that surrounds the specification of intumescent fire resistive materials (IFRM) in building designs. The Sherwin-Williams fire support team works with clients to deliver robust and complimentary engineering knowledge, coupled with expertise in fire resistance design and specification of our FIRETEX® portfolio of coatings. 

Our Fire Engineering and Estimation Team (FEET) consists of mixed discipline mechanical, civil and structural engineers, ready to help with your projects. Supported by our state-of-the-art, internally developed, and innovative FIRETEX Design Estimator (FDE) software, the team can provide either simple or complex fire calculations, for both cellulosic and hydrocarbon fire scenarios.
