Intumescent Paint and Coatings Solutions for Home and Business

We apply intumescent paint and intumescent coatings on spray foam mostly in Greene County, Springfield, Republic, Nixa, and Christian. These coatings are fire-retardant and work very much the same way as the “snake” fireworks we see on the 4th of July.

When fire comes into contact with intumescent paint, it causes the paint to expand rapidly. This helps to prevent the fire from spreading rapidly, improving the building’s safety.

Benefits of Intumescent Paint and Coatings

Enhanced Fire Protection

Intumescent coatings provide critical fire protection by forming an insulating layer that delays heat transfer, giving occupants more time to evacuate and firefighters more time to respond.

Durable and Long-Lasting

These coatings are designed to withstand harsh conditions and maintain their protective properties over time, ensuring long-term fire safety.

Aesthetic Flexibility

Intumescent paints can be applied in a variety of finishes and colors, allowing for seamless integration into your building’s design without compromising safety.

Minimal Maintenance

Once applied, intumescent coatings require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for ongoing fire protection.

What Are Intumescent Paints and Coatings?

Intumescent paints and coatings are fire-resistant materials that expand when exposed to high temperatures. This expansion forms a thick, insulating char layer that protects underlying surfaces from the effects of fire, significantly increasing the time it takes for heat to penetrate and potentially cause structural damage.

The coating is often required by code. It typically must be applied in any area that may be occupied regularly by people. A garage or warehouse would require it, but an attic not used for storage would not. It is most often used in areas where installing drywall is difficult or expensive to install. We regularly apply intumescent paint and coatings for our own projects. We’re also regularly called in to apply coatings when other contractors are hired to install insulation.
