Spill Protection Coating Protects Against Extremely High and Low Temperatures
PPG Industries has launched a new application of PITT-CHAR®XP, a flexible epoxy-based intumescent passive fire protective (PFP) coating suitable for environments where exterior durability and corrosion resistance are required. It utilizes established technologies to prevent steel structures from heating up rapidly in the event of a fire by providing insulative protection against high temperatures.
The product can also be used as an insulative method of protecting structural steel from exposure to the extremely cold temperatures that can result in the event of a cryogenic liquid spill, a feature that is of particular interest to the LNG market.
