Passive Fire Protection
Passive Fire Protection
Heat-inflated paint
The primary purpose of intumescent coatings is to provide an insulating barrier between the fire and the structural steel. The insulating wall is necessary to ensure the safe performance of the structural steel components at the expected temperatures during fires in their advanced stages. Intumescent coatings can provide up to 120 minutes of fire protection.
Smoke-proof curtains
Smoke curtains prevent the passage of smoke by creating a barrier against the spread of smoke. These curtains can be deployed either permanently or automatically as soon as a fire is detected. They are usually installed in commercial properties such as shopping malls, airports, aircraft and cargo hangars, etc. They are also generally installed in such a way as to push rising smoke into the ventilation systems.
Fire resistant curtains
Fire-resistant curtains are one of the fire protection measures, as they become effective in the event of a fire by creating a fire-resistant barrier that protects and separates part of the building from the losses that may result. It also prevents the spread of fire from one area to another.
