Hi... can you advise if the product can be brush applied ? If using for touching up areas previously spray applied, can it be brush applied ? If not, how is touching up of this project carried out ? Thanks. Mark

Small areas of mechanical damage can be repaired using Sherwin-Williams Firetex M72 , Sherwin-Williams Firetex FX1003 or Sherwin-Williams Firetex FX2003 as preferred. Larger areas of mechanical damage should be repaired using Sherwin-Williams Firetex FX1003 or Sherwin-Williams Firetex FX2003 as preferred, applied by brush or spray. All repairs should then have the original topcoat reinstated by brush or spray as required.

Hi... can you give me the M2 coverage per coat please. And can you give coverage (m2) for different fire ratings (e.g. m2 for 30 mins / 60 mins/ 90 mins / 120 mins etc. Thanks. Mark

Unfortunately an intumescent paint cannot be specified in this way, there is not set coverage rate, it will vary dependant on the steels in question. Please provide the information below to technical@rawlinspaints.com so we can assist with a specification. - 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.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products but we cannot guarantee that the colour shown on Customer’s monitor’s display will accurately reflect the colour of the Product on delivery. We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

Recommended Use

After appropriate drying, Firetex FX2003 speciﬁcations can be exposed to the weather for up to 6 months provided that the speciﬁc use or storage does not lead to ponding water due to rainfall, condensation or other site/transportation/storage circumstances.

Please note that this product should not be used without first receiving an application schedule from our Technical Department. Please download and complete the 'FIRETEX Intumescent Support Request Form' and return by email to [email protected]

If you have any questions regarding this process consult our technical department on 0113 2455450 (option 2).

Features

Firetex FX2003 can resist normal weather conditions for up to 6 months without topcoat provided it has had appropriate drying prior to exposure. Once an approved topcoat has been applied as appropriate to the prevailing conditions, then durability will be substantially enhanced. If the speciﬁc use or storage could lead to prolonged contact with water due to rainfall, condensation, or other site/transportation/storage circumstances, then a recommended topcoat must be used to prevent damage to the basecoat.

For certain dry, internal situations where the ﬁnal colour/appearance is not critical, then Firetex FX2003 may remain un-topcoated. For externally exposed steelwork and severe internal environments Acrolon C137V2 or Acrolon C237 must be used as a topcoat. For other internal environments where a topcoat is required then Firetex M71V2 or Sher-Cryl M770 should be used.
