FIRETEX® M89/02
Protective Thermal Insulation Barrier
A Syntactic Epoxy Insulant Coating Providing Cryogenic Spillage and Hydrocarbon Fire Protection with FIRETEX® M89/02
Protecting your assets from extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, and hydrocarbon fire conditions, requires protective coatings that perform when you need them most. Our duplex system is designed to provide protection against both cryogenic spillage and hydrocarbon fire, giving you the ideal safeguard against potential damage to critical plant and equipment.
FIRETEX M89/02 is a seamless, 100% solids, epoxy resin based insulative epoxy that can be used at operating temperatures from -103°F (-75°C) to 302°F (150°C), with intermittent spikes up to 365°F (185°C). As a fully tested, fully compatible insulating layer, FIRETEX M89/02 can be used in conjunction with the FIRETEX M90/02 and M90 Series to provide protection in LNG plants, refineries, and chemical processing plants against hydrocarbon fire, jet fire and cryogenic spillage.
FIRETEX® M89/02 Fire Protection Coating offers:
- Plural component PFP spray and hand trowel application
- Suitable for onsite and offsite application
- Thermally insulating equipment to prevent Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)
- Tested to NORSOK M501, Rev 6, System 5A
- Prevent thermal shock damage during an accidental cryogenic release
- Ultra-high wet film build
- Lightweight (density 0.46g/cm3)
- Extremely thermal efficient (thermal conductivity [K Value] 0.088 W/mk at 68˚F (20˚C)

Features & Benefits
FIRETEX M89/02 Syntactic Epoxy Insulant is used as an individual coating solution, or in unison within a FIRETEX M90 series fireproofing system where fire risks are present. FIRETEX M89/02 Syntactic Epoxy Insulant is a durable, lightweight, corrosion resistant, 100% solids two-component epoxy coating, designed to create a protective thermal insulation barrier on steel members and equipment.
Application Time Savings
- Expedited application for all project sizes
- Can be effectively applied in operating plants or in shops
- Typically applied in a single coat
- Best-in-class thermal insulation properties, requiring lower dry film thicknesses (DFT)
Cost Effectiveness
- Can be effectively applied in operating plants or in shops
- Typically applied in a single coat
- Ultra-lightweight, saving on transportation, handling and construction requirements
- Low life cycle cost- long lasting
Tested and Certified Protection
- Tested to NFPA 58 Hose Stream testing as a duplex system
- Tested to ISO 20088 Cryogenic Exposure Testing
- Tested to NORSOK M501, Rev 6, System 5A
- Tested as a duplex system with M90/02 to ISO 22899-1 jet fire
Extended Life of Assets
- Best-in-class thermal insulation properties, requiring lower dry film thicknesses (DFT)
- Durable and corrosion-resistant in the harshest environments
- Suitable for a wide range of in-service temperatures, allowing the use of anticorrosive intumescent coating systems where other PFP technologies would likely degrade or allow Corrosion Under Fireproofing (CUF)
- Exhibits durability in a fire when applied within a FIRETEX M90 series fireproofing system, maintaining a low steel core temperature
Recommended Uses
FIRETEX® M89/02 is suitable to use when protective thermal insulation is required on steel substrates within refineries, chemical process plants, LNG facilities and terminals. Typical uses for FIRETEX M89/02 include:
- Columns
- Beams
- Steel Troughs
