There is now an array of intumescent technology platforms in the market from acrylic to epoxy and hybrid materials. Understanding what each technology platform is capable of, will assist in you in specifying a compliant product system that is cost effective, gives you long term durability and is capable to be applied during the extreme weather scenarios you may encounter during the construction phase
 

This CPD presentation will go through the various design considerations needed with passive fire protection, for instance: Can the specified steel achieve the required FRL for its liming steel temperature? Has the detail allowed for expansion allowances of the intumescent coating? Is the correct intumescent system for the exposure environment being specified? Is the intumescent system compliant to Australian Standards and the BCA 2019?
