Features & Benefits
FIRETEX® FX9502 is a two-component epoxy coating used to enhance the fire resistance of structural materials 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 material can resist the weakening effects of the heat.
FIRETEX FX9502 may be applied in shops, module yards, or onsite. Combined with certified fire protection approvals, it offers design architects, applicators, and engineers a highly adaptable PFP practical and functional solution.
Application Time Savings
- Reduces time spent coating assets to accelerate applications
- Quick overcoating times
- Excellent sag resistance and a high-film build with minimal finishing requirements
- Fully mesh-free fire protection
Cost Effectiveness
- Reduces the total cost of the coating process with as few as two coats
- Mesh free with low dry film thickness requirements for a wide range of beams and columns
- Minimizes the transportation cost of materials after application as a result of the epoxy’s low installation weight
- Application flexibility to be applied in shops, modular yards or onsite
- No topcoat required for internal environments
Tested and Certified Protection
- Protects personnel and infrastructure from cellulosic fires for up to four hours
- ASTM E119 certified
- Meets UL 2431 durability requirements for cyclic weathering, impact, vibration, salt spray resistance and other key environmental factors
- Meets UL 263 fire protection requirements
Extended Life of Assets
- Superior protection from both fire and corrosion compared to cementitious and single-component acrylics
- Lowest lifecycle cost option
- High-performance corrosion and fire protection in a wide range of environments
Recommended Uses
Passive fire protection is predominantly used to insulate structural steel elements against damage or collapse in a fire scenario, thus maintaining the integrity of the structure and allowing evacuation and firefighting measures to be affected. FIRETEX® FX9502 is designed to protect against the severe conditions that are associated with the combustion of cellulosic materials (wood, paper, cardboard, natural fabrics, etc.).
Typical facilities where FIRETEX® FX9502 can be used include:
- Tall Buildings
- Airports and Transportation Hubs
- Stadiums and Arenas
- Convention Centers
- Laboratories and Clean Rooms
- Manufacturing Facilities
- Educational Buildings
- Gymnasiums
- Lobbies and Atriums
- Hotels
- Hospitals and Healthcare
- Facilities
- Parking Garages
