Global Passive Fire Protection Coatings Market Definition

Passive fire protection coating is a layer that keeps the industrial apparatuses safe from fire outbreaks and prevents high-intensity damage. These coatings are applied so that the steel structures used in building & construction can withstand fire and prevent the steel from reaching the critical temperature that may lead it to collapse. These coatings are generally applied in sports stadiums, residential and commercial construction. Fire Protection Coatings are made of different fillers and flame additives, to prevent the rapid spread of fire flames across the surface and control the period of excessive heat.

In addition, they suppress the production of gases that are produced during the combustion of materials. Excellent fire performance, strength, lightweight, and low installed cost are the important trends and factors that are influencing the market worldwide. Fire Protection Coatings Market is growing at a higher pace due to stringent regulations and the increase in the demand observed in end-use industries such as oil & gas, buildings and construction, automotive, aerospace, electrical & electronics, marine, and many more.

Fire protection coatings are applied to maintain the integrity of steel structures in the event of a fire. There are two types of fire protection coatings namely intumescent coatings and cementitious coatings. The intumescent coatings are known as passive fire protection (PFP) coatings. Intumescent coatings expand upon exposure to heat into an insulating protective char that reduces the total amount of heat transferred to the steel. PFP coatings protect the equipment and critical structures from the threat of hydrocarbon hazards like fires, spills, and explosions and find applications in the petrochemical and oil & gas industries.

Cellulosic fire protection products are considered for steel components in buildings. These coatings contain combustible materials derived from plastics and wood. Hydrocarbon fire protection products are mainly designed for structures in buildings. These coatings are subjected to the combustion of materials that are derived from flammable and petroleum materials. Hydrocarbon fire protection is a solvent-free epoxy intumescent coating that doesn’t give a high volume of char, but the char, that is produced is denser and can remain attached to the steel under a high turbulent fire scenario.

Global Passive Fire Protection Coatings Market Overview

A rise in the number of fire incidents and stringent government regulations regarding fire safety standards are some of the potential drivers for the global Passive Fire Protection Coatings Market. The increase in the building & construction industry may support the market growth over the forecast period.
