1. Steel - Intumescent Paint (Fire Protection)

Intumescent paints for steel, structural steel and cast iron are available with 30, 60, 90 and 120-minute fire protection.

​

2. Steel – Powder Coated (Ungalvanized or Galvanized)

The thermal characteristics of galvanized steel are almost identical to those of ungalvanized steel for powder coating purposes and there are many examples of steel which has been galvanized and then powder coated.

​

However, when powder coating metals, the pre-treatment of the galvanized surface will depend upon which of the many powder types such as polyester, epoxy, or hybrid is being used. This usually includes a form of chemical pre-treatment such as chromating or phosphating, gentle heat treatment, followed by application of the powder.

3. Painting

Paint is the most commonly used material to protect steel. Paint systems for steel structures have developed over the years to comply with industrial environmental legislation and in response to demands from bridge and building owners for improved durability performance.

 

Previous five and six coat systems have been replaced by typically three-coat alternatives, and the latest formulations have focussed on application in even fewer numbers of coats, but with increasing individual film thickness.

 

Examples of this are epoxy and polyester glass flake coatings that are designed for high build thickness in one or two coat applications, and single coat high build elastomeric urethane coatings, up to 1000μm thick.
