Practical application advice
Hydrocarbon fire protection has to respond to a very rapid temperature increase and extreme turbulence fuelled by the burning of hydrocarbon products such as oil and gas.
This type of fire is often seen in severe environmental conditions such as the oil, gas and petrochemical processing industries, placing very high demands on the fire protection coating system used.
With excellent fire protection and durability properties, Firetex thick film epoxy intumescent coatings are used to protect substrates against these onerous conditions wherever they occur. Ultimately giving you peace of mind
