Fire protection is very important as far as buildings steelwork is concerned ,When the temperature of a fire (both ambient & direct) reaches the required temperature for the intumescent coating to react and become active, the coating swells and expands to a carbonaceous char. The expansion (swell) of the char can be 50 to 100 times its initial applied thickness. The carbonaceous char act as an insulative, protecting the steels from collapsing.
