Industrial painting are available for fireproofing and to avoid accidents inn case of fire as these paints provide protection from fire. These paints when are exposed to heat or we can say to fire they become less dense and a thick coating is converted to a thin one that acts as an insulator which acts as an insulator and protect anything or especially steel to be melt. Intumescent coatings has a special composition of chemicals which provides retardation in case of fire. It is made by the combination of Polyamide 6 (PA6) and Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP). It is used to improve heat or fire retardant properties of poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA), loaded with Mg (OH) 2 (MH).

It starts melting after the temperature is reached at 400 degrees. In intumescent paints when exposed to fire a process starts of carbonization and a layer of insulator is made by providing oxides and the things remain safe as this paint proves as a shield. This paint is applicable over all the things such as plastic, steel, hard wood, soft wood, concrete, stone, and bricks, already painted and non-painted things. This paint is applied along with pigments which gave a complete neat finish as all the other casual and simple paints do. It is easy to apply as it is available in all forms as to apply by hand by spray gun or by rollers. It has a large variety of colors as the demand of intumescent paints is increasing day by day as long as the world is progressing and growing at a fast rate.

Many companies have been introduced due to increasing demand of intumescent paint for steel as they provide safety and security. . It increases the life span of the thing on which it is painted. Due to this paint the load bearing capacity of steel increases and this increase the strength of the building. The paint applied on any surface reduces the spread of flame over the area. By intumescent coating we can prolong the weakening of the material as it takes time in ignition. Basically we can say that the coating resists ignition. The only disadvantage which we have to face is that if intumescent paint is applied with a thick coating then it may get sagged and this sagging can be redone. It can only be redone by removing this layer and by placing a new layer of the paint. The only method is to redone the intumescent coating to make it fire proof. This paint adds the life span or life time of steel to add load bearing capacity of the steel. It can made refurbishment projects. The gasketing industries also use intumescent fireproofing paints. The intumescent coatings add the strength of building and avoid it from burning, melting and weakening when exposed to extreme heat and temperature.
