Supplied by World Steel with your steel building or on its own – one order, one shipment, one partner.
Overview
About Epoxy intumescent coating (hydrocarbon fire)
Built up in several millimetres, often with reinforcement mesh at corners and edges.
Forms a hard, dense char that resists the turbulence of hydrocarbon and jet fires.
Part of a corrosion-protection system with primer and topcoat.
Key benefits
- Hydrocarbon and jet-fire protection in one system
- Very high durability, impact and weather resistance
- Corrosion protection and fire protection together
- Lighter than concrete or heavy sprays

How we use Epoxy intumescent coating (hydrocarbon fire) in steel buildings
World Steel can apply the primer and intumescent coating in our blasting and painting shop, so members arrive at site already fire-protected – thickness per member from the fire engineer's schedule, recorded in the coating report.
- 01Specified with the structure – thickness, density and facing matched to the roof, wall and fire design.
- 02Quantities taken from the same 3D model as the steel, purlins and cladding.
- 03Packed and shipped with the steel package – one delivery schedule to site.
Applications
Where Epoxy intumescent coating (hydrocarbon fire) is used
- Oil & gas, petrochemical and LNG plants
- Pipe racks, vessel skirts, process modules
- Offshore and coastal industrial structures

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What thickness of epoxy intumescent coating (hydrocarbon fire) do I need?
It depends on the member size (section factor), the critical temperature and the required fire rating – the fire engineer or the manufacturer's tested data gives a thickness for each member.
Does World Steel supply branded products?
Yes – we supply the brand and listed system your specification or authority requires. This page describes the product type.
