Contego was formed in 2000 for the express purpose of seeking out the best fire prevention products available and expanding their use through refinement, education and exposure. Most of Contego's products come from niche industrial sectors where they have been used successfully for years and sometimes decades. Contego acquires the products then refines them to make them more user friendly. The benefits of these tested products are then made available to broader consumer and commercial markets.There are a variety of fire-resistant coatings available for the protection of exposed structural steel in buildings. This webinar will address the selection, use and installation of intumescent, fire-resistive coatings.
Course objectives include the following: 1) Describe how intumescent coatings protect underlying steel from heat exposure; 2) List two fire rating classification tests that are used to qualify intumescent coatings for use in building construction; 3) Identify two primary resin types that are used to formulate intumescent coatings; and 4) Explain how steel size and structure design affect specified thickness and number of coats. Participants are eligible for one AIA LU/HSW credit.
