Hydrocarbon fire protection has to respond to a very rapid rate of heating combined with extreme turbulence and result from the burning of hydrocarbon based fuels such as oil and gas.

This type of fire is often seen in difficult 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, Firetex thick film epoxy intumescent coatings are used to protect substrates against these onerous conditions wherever they occur. Ultimately giving the client peace of mind
