Global Fire Protection Coatings Growth Opportunities

Growth Strategies Focus on Hybrid Intumescent Coatings

Infographics

×

In this study, fire protection coatings are classified into 2 groups: intumescent coatings and cementitious coatings. Both types protect against 2 types of fire: cellulosic fires (from burning wood and similar materials) and hydrocarbon fires (from burning hydrocarbons such as liquid fuels). Hydrocarbon intumescent, hydrocarbon cementitious, cellul...
