Structural steel is one of the strongest construction materials, but during a fire it rapidly loses its load-bearing capacity once its temperature reaches around 500–550°C. Intumescent coating is a specialized passive fire protection (PFP) system that protects steel structures by forming an insulating char layer when exposed to high temperatures, delaying structural failure and providing 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes (or more) of fire resistance. This technology is widely used in commercial buildings, industrial plants, airports, warehouses, and infrastructure projects in India. Certified intumescent coatings are designed to meet standards such as BS 476, EN 13381, UL, and NBC 2016 fire safety requirements.
Approximate Cost of Intumescent Coating in India
Though the cost depends on fire rating, steel section size, project quantity, coating brand, and site conditions, it typically ranges from Rs.2000-4000 per sq.mtr.
Is Intumescent Coating Cost-Effective?
Yes—especially for exposed structural steel in commercial and industrial buildings.
