Ensure long-term sustainability with our tailored PFP solutions
Hempel PFP solutions are designed to enhance sustainability – from material use to extended asset life
Hempel's passive fire protection solutions are optimised for sustainable construction. Our coatings use less paint to achieve the required fire protection, reducing waste, time, and energy during application. In addition, our coatings are low in VOC, enhancing environmental performance. Guided by Hempel experts, you gain durable solutions that extend asset life and support sustainability by minimising maintenance and reapplication. These benefits help your projects earn credits in certifications like LEED® and BREEAM®.
Intumescent coating products for any project requirements
Get swift, expert support and a versatile range of fire protection products that enhance aesthetics, sustainability, and project economy.
Enhanced project economy
Innovative technology in our coatings means contractors and applicators use less paint to achieve the required protection level. This lowers costs, speeds up completion, and reduces environmental impact. Fewer coats also minimise potential delays from drying times, streamlining the entire process.
Sustainable solutions
Faster application times in varied climates and less paint required to meet standards reduce your project’s CO₂ impact. The low-VOC content in our PFP solutions further lowers emissions and promotes a greener, healthier work environment for applicators. Our PFP products also include Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which contributes to Green Building Schemes.
Long-lasting protection
Our intumescent coatings are CE, Certifire, and ApplusFire certified, guaranteeing reliable fire protection worldwide. Designed as a complete system with compatible primers, coatings, and topcoats, they ensure long-lasting durability and flawless aesthetics.
Save time and cost with our HEET Dynamic estimation tool
HEET Dynamic simplifies passive fire protection specification with quick, accurate volume and thickness calculations for intumescent coatings. Designed for structural engineers and estimators, this easy-to-use tool offers advanced Structural Fire Design features and a BIM plug-in, enabling automated coating calculations directly within your 3D models – saving you even more time and resources.
