The site problem
Intumescent needs dry steel, controlled humidity and time between coats. On an open Philippine site during the rainy season that can mean weeks of waiting, scaffolding over finished floors and another trade on the critical path.
What we do in the plant
- Blast cleaning and approved primer straight after fabrication
- Coats sprayed under cover with temperature and dew point recorded
- DFT measured on every member before release
- Protective wrapping and padded supports for the sea voyage
What remains on site
Bolted connections, splice plates and handling scuffs are completed by your applicator with the same product, following our written touch-up procedure. On a typical frame this is a small share of the total area.
When site application still makes sense
Very thick systems that would be damaged in transport, cementitious sprays, and members added late to the design. We plan the split with you at quotation stage.
FAQ
Does shop coating survive shipping?
With correct curing, wrapping and supports, damage is limited to contact points, which are touched up after erection.
Who inspects the site touch-up?
Your engineer or third-party inspector, using our procedure and DFT targets.
Preliminary calculations are provided for estimation purposes only. Final coating thickness and fire protection system selection must be verified against the approved product documentation, applicable project requirements and relevant engineering assessments.
