Finish Standards For Intumescent Cellulosic Fire Protection

When choosing a Fire-Protection material to meet building code requirements to insulate steel for a prescribed period to facilitate safe evacuations and emergency response from commercial buildings in the event of a fire, there are many factors that influence the selection of an Intumescent Fire Resistive Material (IFRM) over a Spray Applied Fire Resistive Material (SFRM). It could be a concern of the weight of the system; Portland Cement based SFRM’s are typically much heavier and bulkier than IFRM’s. Another factor could be durability, based on either corrosion resistance or the ability to withstand considerable physical or environmental damage.

There are various resinous materials used in the formulation of intumescent coatings (acrylics, various epoxies, etc). The paper would examine the uses and features of these materials and also compare their starting point for appearance. It would then examine the means and methods and effort required to change (improve) that appearance to align with an expectation. It would do this in the context of comparing to other specified standards (Drywall finishing standards, AISC AESS Standards) and propose the development of an industry standard methodology for specifying finishes.
