Intumescent Coating
Product Description
A water borne intumescent coating for the fire protection of interior section structural steelwork.
Designed Use
Physical Data
* Overcoating
Only overcoat with self or approved topcoat – consult Berger Paints for advice. Maximum
overcoating time is indefinite providing the surface is clean and the coating is sound. Coated
surfaces must be kept in controlled, dry conditions until topcoated or degradation may occur.
Additional Information
Thinner : Fresh Water
Storage Instruction : Store in dry, cool and shaded area
Flash Point : Above 55°C
Packaging : 20 litres
Shelf Life @ 23°C : 6 months in closed containers
Surface Preparation
Degrease where necessary to SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning to remove traces of oil, grease and other
contamination prior to blasting. All sharp edges should be ground and weld spatter removed. Blast
clean to Swedish Standard SIS 05 5900 Sa 2.5 and maximum profile of 75 microns.
Apply one coat Epilux 78, Epilux 76, Epilux 74, Rapid Air Dry 10 primers to a dft of 50-75 microns
dft. Kindly contact us for any other compatible primer and topcoats.
Application Notes
Method : Output fluid pressure tip size
Airless Spray : Min 3000 psi 21-25 thou
Roller : Yes
Brush : Yes
Conventional Spray : No
Automatic Spray : No
Mix the paint thoroughly before use.
Brush/roller application will typically give up to 500 microns dft for multi-coat application, but up
to 1mm can be achieved.
Highest standard of decorative finish is only likely to be achieved with careful airless spray
application.Off-site applications must be allowed sufficient hardening time before moving. Coated
sections should be packed and handled so as to minimize damage to coating and prevent ponding
by water and should be stored and transported under cover. If possible, handling cleats should be
attached to the steelwork to minimize lifting damage. Topcoat must be applied before leaving the
shop. On site, all damage should be repaired to original specification.
Only apply in conditions of good ventilation which should be maintained during drying. Do not
apply when rain, mist, sleet or snow are imminent. Do not apply or allow to dry below 5°C,
temperatures above 10°C are preferred. During application and drying time of paint coating, the
surface should be dry and the relative humidity should not exceed 90%; the RH should be
maintained as low as possible. The steel temperature should remain at least 3°C above dew point.
