Perlite Italiana

Vernici intumescenti for steel structures provide passive fire protection through a process of expansion of the components that, at high temperature, form a highly insulating microcellular layer capable of slowing down the rise in temperature of the substrate (intumescent behaviour).‎ The products offered are, depending on the customer's needs, both water- and solvent-based, ready-to-use and can be used, depending on the type, indoors and outdoors.‎ Suitably dimensioned, on steel structures, Vernici intumescenti paints allow exceptional fire resistance up to fire class R120.‎ The paints are easy to apply and allow for simple restoration operations in the case of accidental chipping or removal.‎ The products allow for beautiful-looking interventions and ensure that the original structural geometries are maintained, especially for all elements that must remain visible for aesthetic reasons.‎ Depending on the environment in which they are found under normal operating conditions, the intumescent paints can/must be overpainted with finishing paints, even coloured ones; in environments that are completely exposed to atmospheric agents, solvent-based intumescent paints protected with polyurethane finishes must be used.‎ All the intumescent paints we offer are qualified in authorised laboratories according to the European standard EN 13381-8 and are CE marked.‎
