Features & Benefits

FIRETEX® FX7002 intumescent coating is used to enhance the fire resistance of structural steel members by providing a layer of insulation, which is formed as a result of a chemical reaction initiated by fire. This insulation reduces the rate of heat transfer and extends the time period for which the structural member can resist the weakening effects of the heat.
