How does PPG coating save lives in the fire?

Not long ago, I shared with you the cooperation case between PPG and LG Chemical Poland electric vehicle battery factory, and showed PPG steelguard Gamma 651 water based intumescent fire retardant coating has superior performance. Further forward, in the construction process of Beijing Daxing International Airport, PPG steelguard 550 fire retardant coating appeared. They belong to the PPG steelguard series of fiber fire retardant coating, and the fire-retardant effect of this series of products is very excellent.

Snatch time from death

Exposed steel structure is a common design feature in skyscrapers, airport terminals, gymnasiums, shopping malls, schools and other modern buildings and infrastructure that focus on aesthetic effects. But once there is a fire, this kind of building will face a great fire safety risk because of the characteristics of too dense people to evacuate safely in a short time. Race against death, every second counts. At this time, the steel structure with or without fireproof coating largely determines the speed of death.

No fireproof coating:

In a fire, the steel without fire protection coating may reach the critical temperature which makes the structure lose its bearing capacity in just a few minutes, so that the stability of the building will be lost and the building will collapse.

PPG steelguard protection:

PPG STEELGUARD is an intumescent coating with higher fire protection effect. It expands at high temperature. When the temperature is high, the ultra thin fireproof coating gradually expands and transforms into a thick foamed thermal insulation carbon layer, thereby isolating the influence of high temperature caused by fire on the steel structure. It is this insulation effect that keeps the stability of the steel structure in a certain period of time, provides more than 120 minutes of fire protection, and strives for a crucial time for personnel escape, fire emergency rescue and protection of the building structure.

Key words of advantage

Corrosion protection: PPG steelguard series is divided into two categories: aquatic products and solvent products. It provides coating solutions that match with various fire rating, climate exposure conditions and construction technology. When combined with appropriate topcoat, it can provide high-level corrosion protection under various atmospheric corrosion environment conditions.

Aesthetics: it can not only provide durable and smooth finish, but also can match your design requirements and enhance the appearance decoration and aesthetics of steel structure by coating with different colors and types of finish.

Environmental protection: all PPG steelguard coatings have passed the overall performance test and obtained the latest international standard certification, meeting the requirements of the most stringent environmental regulations. VOC content is low and almost tasteless, which is suitable for the working and living environment of people who need to put an end to any harmful smoke.

ISO certification: PPG has passed the internationally recognized ISO 9001 standard certification for quality identification. Our fiber based intumescent fire retardant coating PPG steelguard meets all the major international fire protection standards, and each product has passed strict and complete test procedures, with unified global quality.

PPG steelguard products can be widely used in most civil and commercial infrastructure, including: airport terminal, concert hall, factory steel structure, hospital, hotel, school building, shopping center, gymnasium, railway station, warehouse, skyscraper, etc. At present, it has been successfully applied for decades, providing excellent protection and performance for infrastructure facilities around the world.

In addition to the cases mentioned at the beginning, there are Beijing Universal Studios, Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, Zhuhai Chimelong Marine Science Museum, Shanghai Disneyland theme park, Zhuhai port inspection building of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, Chongqing Airport Terminal T3 of Shenyang fuhenglong Plaza, CGNPC Fangchenggang / Yangjiang / Ningde / Hongyanhe Nuclear Power station (nuclear island), West Kowloon terminal of Hong Kong high speed railway, Taipei 101 University PPG steelguard series products have been used as fire retardant coating schemes in many famous projects at home and abroad, such as building, Taipei Gymnasium, Taitung airport, Adelaide elliptical stadium in Australia, Wembley Stadium in England, etc.
