Hello, We are looking into repairing damage to intumesent paint on the structural steel of an existing building. Not sure what type of paint it exactly is. Can you advise what ideal product would be and how to apply it? Kind Regards, Agron Mjekiqi Architectural Technician tel: 020 7940 6500 mob: 07760 558 172 email: [email protected] web: www.ttpp.co.uk
In many cases intumescent coatings cannot be repaired and the steel section will need to be stripped and a new system specified and applied.
Please send the information below to [email protected]
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Structural Steel Design Code (i.e. EuroCode, BS5950, BS476; Part 21, etc.)
- Building type (i.e. office, domestic, storage, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
