Hempel to Launch Hempafire Pro 400 Optimized for 90 Minutes of Cellulosic Fire Protection
Hempafire Pro 400, a new passive fire protection coating maintains the stability of steel structures in the event of a fire for up to 120 minutes and has been optimized for maximum efficiency.
Passive fire protection (PFP) coatings insulate steel during a fire, which extends the steel’s load-bearing capacity and gives valuable extra time for evacuation and emergency response. Hempel’s Hempafire Pro intumescent PFP coatings are known for their low loadings, which can improve project efficiency.
Hempel launched Hempafire Pro 315 in 2018, which provides 60 minutes cellulosic fire protection and market-leading dry film thicknesses. Now, with the launch of Hempafire Pro 400 under BS 476 20/21, Hempel has extended the range to include fire protection for 90 and 120 minutes.
