Product Technical Specifications

Product Overview

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel is a specialized industrial mastic coating developed to improve the fire resistance of structural steel. During fire conditions, steel rapidly loses its load-bearing strength as temperatures rise. Without fire protection, structural failure can occur at approximately 550°C.

The Gorlex GFS012 Fire Retardant Coating for Steel helps delay this temperature rise by forming a durable insulating barrier around steel components. This additional protection increases evacuation time, supports firefighting operations, and reduces structural collapse risk.

The coating is suitable for:

Structural steel beams
Steel columns
Industrial steel frameworks
Warehouses
Commercial buildings
Power plants
Petrochemical facilities
Manufacturing plants
Infrastructure projects
High-Build Mastic Technology

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel uses a high-build mastic formulation designed for heavy industrial performance.

Thick Protective Barrier

Unlike conventional thin-film coatings, the mastic system forms a dense and durable layer that provides superior thermal insulation.

Industrial Durability

The coating is engineered to withstand:

Industrial environments
Mechanical stress
Surface abrasion
Long-term exposure conditions
Single-Pass Application Capability

The high solids formulation allows thicker coating build-up in fewer application passes, improving project efficiency.

Fire Retardant Mechanism

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel uses advanced fire-resistant chemistry to slow steel temperature rise during fire exposure.

Thermal Insulation

The thick mastic layer acts as a permanent thermal barrier that protects steel from direct heat exposure.

Endothermic Protection

Special compounds within the coating absorb heat energy during fire conditions, reducing heat transfer to the steel substrate.

Non-Flammable Vapor Release

The coating may release non-combustible vapors that help reduce flame intensity and improve fire resistance.

Structural Stability

By delaying the steel reaching critical temperatures, the Fire Retardant Coating for Steel helps maintain load-bearing strength during emergencies.

Industrial Performance Benefits

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel offers multiple industrial advantages beyond fire protection.

Corrosion Protection

The coating helps protect steel surfaces against:

Moisture exposure
Industrial pollutants
Rust formation
Surface degradation
Mechanical Durability

The cured coating provides:

Excellent adhesion
High impact resistance
Reduced cracking
Long-term coating stability
Reliable Adhesion

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel is formulated for strong bonding with properly prepared steel surfaces, ensuring dependable fire protection performance.

Surface Preparation Guidelines

Proper surface preparation is essential for coating performance.

Cleaning

Steel surfaces should be free from:

Rust
Oil
Grease
Dust
Mill scale
Abrasive Blasting

Industrial abrasive blasting standards such as Sa 2.5 are generally recommended to create suitable surface profile for mastic adhesion.

Priming

Compatible anti-corrosive primers may be used before application depending on project specifications.

Application Method

The Fire Retardant Coating for Steel can be applied using:

Heavy-duty airless spray systems
Brush application
Trowel application
Airless Spray Application

Airless spray equipment is recommended for:

Uniform film thickness
Large industrial surfaces
High-build coating application
Faster project completion
Small Area Application
