Intumescent Coatings by Brush Brothers Industrial Coatings
At Brush Brothers Industrial Services, we’re proud to offer premium intumescent coatings designed to provide fireproofing and thermal protection for structural steel and other materials. These coatings are essential for enhancing safety and compliance in industrial, commercial, and municipal settings across Utah.
What Are Intumescent Coatings?
Intumescent coatings are fire-resistant materials that expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating char layer. This layer slows the transfer of heat to the substrate, protecting the structural integrity of steel and other materials in the event of a fire.
At Brush Brothers, we provide cutting-edge coatings that meet stringent safety standards. Formulated for superior fire resistance and durability, they ensure long-term performance. Plus, they provide excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, including steel and concrete.
Our coatings are designed to meet industry standards and are available in customizable finishes to suit both functional and aesthetic requirements. With advanced thermal insulation properties, these coatings offer reliable protection in demanding environments.
The Benefits of Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings provide a wide range of benefits, from enhanced fire protection and long-term durability to code compliance and aesthetics.
Let’s take a closer look at the advantages of intumescent coatings in industrial settings:
- Fire Resistance: Provides critical time for evacuation and firefighting by delaying heat transfer and protecting the underlying structure.
- Structural Integrity: Maintains the load-bearing capacity of steel during high-temperature exposure.
- Compliance: Meets building codes and fire safety regulations.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Available in smooth, decorative finishes for enhanced aesthetic appeal.
- Durability: Long-lasting protection against both fire and environmental wear.

Applications of Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings are widely used in industries where fire safety is paramount. Structural steel in commercial and industrial buildings benefits from these coatings, ensuring compliance with fire safety codes and preserving structural integrity during a fire.
The construction industry uses these coatings to protect steel in commercial buildings, warehouses, and bridges. In oil and gas facilities, intumescent coatings provide critical protection for storage tanks, pipelines, and processing equipment. Power plants and manufacturing facilities rely on these coatings to protect heavy machinery and critical infrastructure. Additionally, these coatings are applied in public buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities to enhance fire safety and meet regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Materials Can Intumescent Coatings Protect?
These coatings can be applied to wood, concrete, steel, and drywall. If you have questions about specific applications, feel free to reach out to us to discuss your needs.
-
Is Adding an Intumescent Coating the Same as Fireproofing?
No, these coatings don’t make the underlying materials completely fireproof. Instead, they make steel or concrete more fire-resistant, giving you extra time to evacuate before the structure collapses. You’ll likely still be dealing with the damage and structural issues of the fire; coatings just slow down the process.
-
How Long Does an Intumescent Coating Last in a Fire?
Intumescent coatings come with a fire rating assigned by the ASTM that lets you know how many hours it can last before the fire reaches the substrate; however, this amount of time may vary depending on the coating’s thickness and application methods. Be sure to check product specifications for more specific information.
