Sky Ideas
FIRETEX intumescent coatings offer superb protection for structures as diverse as supermarkets and offshore oil rigs. As fire is a risk for all structures, minimising the risk to preserve life and reduce damage to key assets is essential.
The FIRETEX range of intumescent paint for steel includes solvent and water based coating systems offering up to 2 hours fire protection. With a product to suit every fire protection scenario, we are sure we can help you in the specification of your next project. Our range covers:
| Cellulosic Civil construction fires, usually caused by the combustion of wood or paper |
| Hydrocarbon Fires associated with the Oil, Gas and Chemical industry as they are caused by the ignition of highly flammable hydrocarbons |
Leighs Paints is clearly recognised as an innovator in passive fire protection coatings, especially intumescent paint for steel.
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
We understand the need to offer expert advice, so we formed our Fire Estimation and Engineering Team which is led by qualified structural engineers.
The team is available at any time from initial concept through design, to sign off at the construction site. Equipped with CAD facilities they can prepare an individual client schedule that lists the material to use, the thickness of paint to be applied and an estimate of the overall paint quantity required. We want to take the strain away from you by working in partnership to ease your project pressures.
Our field operatives operate on a global basis to provide you with further practical support for peace of mind.
Products Informed By Knowledge
We ask our clients to voice their opinions on a wide range of subjects so that we can improve both our product and service offer. The Fire Research Centre focuses on new product developments using our in-house, comprehensive research facilities.
We also prefer to be actively involved in technical committees at the highest levels, such as ISO and BSI, so that you can be reassured that our product understanding and the guidance we offer you complies with the latest fire standards and regulations.
| Our FIRETEX range of products can be seen on a variety of prestigious structures including Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport, London and the Dubai Flower Centre at Dubai Airport. We have also fire protected the Exxon Mobile Kizomba FPSO’s fabricated in Korea and the Encana (Nexen) Buzzard offshore oil production module where work was carried out in the UK. |
