Passive Fire Protection
Saving lives – protecting assets
AMERCOAT is recognized as a world leader in the development and supply of market-leading performance coatings that protect onshore and offshore steel structures from fire and corrosion throughout the world.
As a result of decades of intense innovation and proven performance, AMERCOAT´s fire protection systems provide the most effective defence against a range of high-risk fire scenarios:
PITT-CHAR® XP: The ultimate solution for extreme hydrocarbon fire scenarios
In marine and industrial environments, where hydrocarbon pool and jet fires are a risk, the intumescent properties of PITT-CHAR XP prevent steel structures from heating up rapidly in a fire. This delays the loss of load-bearing capacity and integrity, and buys time for personnel to evacuate to a safe area.
STEELGUARD®: The superior cellulosic fire protection solution
STEELGUARD intumescent coating systems are specifically formulated to provide superb fire protection for civil buildings. These coatings expand at high temperatures from a thin coating into a thick, foam-like layer that insulates the steel from the fire; this insulation maintains the steel´s stability – providing vital time to help people escape.
