Uncompromising safety. Unbeatable efficiency.
Some PFP coatings can be more complex and time consuming to apply than other types of coating. But we don’t believe increased safety should lower your productivity. So, we design our PFP coatings to give you safety without compromise – and unbeatable efficiency.
We’re anything but passive.
Rest assured. We’ve got you covered.
You have multiple considerations when making specification decisions. What length of fire protection do you need – 30, 60, 120 minutes or longer? Where will the system be applied? What will the exposure level be and how corrosive is the environment? What’s the budget and timeframe? And, of course, your fire protection system needs to meet multiple standards – and the needs of multiple stakeholders.
That’s why we created a PFP range that can meet the requirements of every type of building project, from stadiums and shopping centres to airports, factories and apartment blocks. We even provide ultralow-VOC versions and solutions for hydrocarbon fires. And, because we know time is money, our PFP coatings are designed to lower your paint consumption and increase application efficiency, so you get more done in less time and complete the project faster.
No matter your project, we’ve got you covered.

Meet every standard
Developed at our dedicated Passive Fire Protection R&D Centre in Barcelona, Spain, all our PFP systems undergo real exposure tests around the world and accelerated weathering tests according to EN 16623 and ISO 12944. They are also tested according to the rigorous requirements of international standards and third-party certifications, such as CE marking and Certifire. And everything is supervised by our ISO 9001 quality assurance.
Ensures consistent quality in accordance with the main international fire testing standards

Passive fire protection: fundamentals of PFP, fire design and intumescent coatings
Structural steel loses strength at elevated temperatures. Using passive fire protection limits temperature rise in steel in order to prevent structures losing stability in the event of a fire, providing additional time for emergency response and safe evacuation of the building as well as minimizing damage to assets.
ISO 12944: A guide to the international standard for corrosion protection of steel by paint
All steel structures that are exposed to the atmosphere, under water or submerged in soil, suffer from corrosion. The ISO 12944 standard helps ensure proper corrosion protection and includes updates on the recommended composition of paint systems, including the number of recommended coats, dry film thicknesses and more.

The importance of compatible and approved primers and topcoats to fire performance in intumescent coating systems
Intumescent coating systems have improved durability when used with primers and/or topcoats, which is important in demanding exposure conditions. However, it is essential that all coatings in the system are compatible and approved in order to ensure fire protection performance. Find out more now.
The advantages of intumescent coatings in protecting structural steel from corrosion and fire
Steel enables strong and resilient buildings with wider spans and more open areas to be built more quickly, economically and with a reduced environmental footprint. Protecting steel framed buildings against fire is a vital part of the planning and construction process and safety features are generally a mix of active and passive mechanisms.
