Intumescent
Assemblies normally require a thickness of 20 to 40 dry
film depending on the substring. Intumescent Paint
can be a primer and a finished paint on a gypsum
assembly. Intumescent Assemblies will last the lifetime
of the structure as long as the gypsum is in tact and
remains in good shape. Just like any fire wall,
Intumescent Paint must be in good condition to provide
stable fire protection of the Intumescent Assembly.
Even
in new buildings, compliance with codes can be
a major issue. Homeowner boards and property owners
are litigating defective construction that does not
comply with codes. Repairing defects such as incorrect
nailing, wrong sheetrock and single layer ceilings require
massive demolition/reconstruction and relocation of
occupants resulting in prohibitive costs and delays.
Most of these defects can now be corrected with FlameOFF Coatings, Inc using
a Intumescent Paint in a short amount of time and at a fraction of the price
of reconstruction. Intumescent Assemblies, Intumescent
Paint. Any type of coatings that are provided a rating
on any Intumescent Assemblies can pass toxcity smoke
test and green listing. With the use of our Intumescent
Paint, the customer will receive a smoke toxicity test
as with any type of coatings we supply to the housing
industry. Intumescent Assemblies are the future of
building green with the use of coatings.
As
cities face more and more problems with
fire safety,
tougher codes requiring substantially more difficult
testing standards are being instituted and, to date,
no other product can pass these standards. Fire
Retardant Coatings or Intumescent Coatings must pass
various test to even be considered for use in the
construction industry.
With
the movement to bring more residential and commercial
space back into the downtown areas and with the rebuilding
of decommissioned military bases, a tremendous number
of buildings are being converted from one use to another.
These conversions will invariably involve upgrades required
by local building codes. Obviously, some of the most
critical of these upgrades involve
fire safety. FlameOFF Coatings, Inc
and Intumescent Coatings, is in the perfect position to
assist in this area. By using FlameOFF Coatings, Inc we save the builders
time, material costs and added material weight because
we merely add coats of Intumescent Coatings and
Flame Retardant Spray in lieu of changing the
type of construction or demolishing/rebuilding to add
sheetrock or sprinklers.
