    How it Works


    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.



    Fire Testing


    Product performance assessment based upon UKAS/EGOLF Fire Test Laboratory Certification to BS 476 Part 21 - Fire resistance to load bearing elements of structures.



    Fire Certification


    After use, a Certificate of Supply can be issued upon request for each specified project for insurance, Fire and Building Control Authority and Client Records. Click HERE to apply.

    questions David Kelsey on 2022-04-11 15:08:49
    Question: 

    What temperature can this product withstand?

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    This product is a "fire retardant" paint and is not a "heat resistant product" unfortunately. At high temperatures this product will change form to protect the substrate material it is applied to.
