Monarch Coating Intumescent Paint

Glo-Protek Intumescent Coatingis an intumescent fire-retardant paint that not only retards the spread of fire, it also insulates the substrate from the intense heat of a fire. This coating dries quickly to a flat matt finish having the appearance of conventional matt finish paint.
On contact with fire or excessive heat, the paint puffs up (intumesces), forming a thick, spongelike cellular foam layer over 100 times thicker than the original paint film. This foam layer insulates the substrate from the heat of the flame, thus retarding flame spread and minimising delaying structural failure.
