A compatible decorative overcoat system ensures the system will enhance the building’s architectural and design features. W optimised for
&
shape steel and hollow bracing. WO optimised for hollow posts.
A compatible decorative overcoat system ensures the system will enhance the building’s architectural and design features. The range of topcoats are either water-based or 2010 compliant and safe to use in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
The heat of a fire triggers a catalytic reaction, causing the expansion of an insulating char layer up to 50 times the paint thickness. This layer keeps the steel below its critical temperature, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the building.
Product performance assessment is based upon UKAS/EGOLF Fire Test Laboratory Certification to BS 476 Part 21 - Fire Resistance to load bearing elements of structures. For certification and compliance with regulations the manufacturer will supply a Certificate of Supply on request.
Steel and cast iron should be free from rust and millscale and primed with Astro HBP Primer to 75 microns DFT ( or alternative good quality anti-corrosive primer compatible with intumescent paints) in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Treat galvanised surfaces with “T” wash/Mordant solution & prime with zinc phosphate or other primer for steel. Astro HBP Primer may be left without further overcoating or decorated with appropriate conventional paint where no fire resistance is required.

All interested parties, designer, specifier, main contractor and specialist installers should provide access to allow the fire stopping seals to be regularly inspected and maintained, as well as records kept of such maintenance at minimum periods of 12 months, as required by the Regulatory Reform Order, and repaired if necessary. Reference should be made to ASFP TGD 17 – Code of Practice for the Installation and Inspection of Fire Stopping.
It is vital that those entrusted to design or install a fire stopping product have the necessary levels of competence to undertake the task professionally and thoroughly. The level of competency required will be commensurate with the expected complexity of the building. All designers must eliminate, reduce or control foreseeable risks that may arise during installation, construction or maintenance when preparing or modifying designs. Clients should ensure that the principal designer and principal contractor carry out their duties under CDM regulations. The ASFP foundation course in passive fire protection provides essential knowledge as part of demonstrating competency and understanding in this key fire protection specialism.
