Hempel Launches Hempafire Pro Coatings in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean
LYNGBY, Denmark – Hempel announced that it has launched its Hempafire Pro range of passive fire protection coatings in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. The products maintain the stability of steel structures in the event of a fire for up to 120 minutes to enhance building safety. Passive fire protection (PFP) coatings insulate steel during a fire, which extends the steel’s load-bearing capacity and gives valuable extra time for evacuation and emergency response.
Hempel’s Hempafire Pro PFP range consists of two intumescent coatings. Hempafire Pro 315 provides up to 90 minutes cellulosic fire protection and is optimized for 60 minutes. Hempafire Pro 400 provides up to 120 minutes cellulosic fire protection and is optimized for 90 minutes. Both coatings deliver very low loadings, which can improve project efficiency.
