View Recording This webinar is archived and recorded from a live presentation on Thursday, March 25, 2010. Cost: FREE This webinar will describe intumescent coatings, how they function to protect structures from fire, and how they are classified by performance rating stated in terms of hours of protection. UL requirements for classifying coatings that protect building construction and materials (UL 263), as well as structural steel in rapid rise fires (UL 1709), will be reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of various generic coating types used to produce intumescent coatings will be explained, and several features of these coatings systems will be discussed: coating thickness and number of coats, appearance properties, testing for cure, use of primers, use of finish coats, and comparative performance. This webinar is part of the 2010 SSPC-JPCL Education Series, providing continuing education for SSPC recertifications as well as technology updates on important topics.
