Mesh Free Epoxy Passive Fire Protection - The Challenge: Advancements in Intumescent Epoxy Rapid Rise Passive Fire Protection Reduced Labor and Installation Costs
Available for download

Since the inception of Epoxy Passive Fire Protection (EPFP), the industry has depended upon systems that require mesh reinforcement. The addition of this mesh adds at least $3.72 USD/sq. ft. to the applied systems. To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire reinforcement mesh must be correctly installed in accordance with the product’s certification and type approvals.

Since the inception of Epoxy Passive Fire Protection (EPFP), the industry has depended upon systems that require mesh reinforcement. The addition of this mesh adds at least $3.72 USD/sq. ft. to the applied systems. To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire (see Figure 1,) reinforcement mesh must be correctly installed in accordance with the product’s certification and type approvals. The consequences of incorrectly installing mesh could be devastating leading to loss of life, serious incident escalation, blocked escape routes, loss of asset, environmental catastrophe, loss of inventory and more.
