Fire protection

Fire retardant paint

Protecting steel structures with fireproof paints has become a standard in construction. These paints are also called intumescent paints because during a fire the coating increases in volume by up to 50 times. By producing protective foam, they delay the heating of elements and, consequently, reaching the critical temperature of the steel. Thanks to this, the steel structure is effectively protected and people have time to evacuate.

To learn more about selecting a fire protection system and browse products, go to the " Steel structures " subcategory.

Our offer includes:

• Fireproof Steelguard system
• Flame Steel Fire Proof Solvent

All fire-resistant paints we offer have current ITB or ETA approvals and other documents necessary for use in construction. We help in selecting a fire protection system and perform calculations for the client. We provide training and a Contractor's Certificate.

Fire retardant varnishes for wood

Fire retardant varnishes from the Uniepal-Drew line are used to provide fire protection to wooden surfaces, giving them an aesthetic finish. Of course, the most important are their properties, thanks to which the wood obtains the appropriate fire classification - Euroclass. According to the Polish standard PN-EN 13501-1, there are 7 basic classes for construction products, which are marked with the letters: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F, while for floors the classes are marked A1fl, A2fl, Bfl, Cfl, Dfl, Efl, Ffl. As you can easily guess, A means the best class and F means the worst class. In addition, two additional classes are marked: si d. The symbol s (for smoke) indicates how much smoke the material produces during a fire, and the symbol d (for droplets) informs about the formation of burning drops that may contribute to the spread fire. The combination of these symbols gives us the Euroclass, e.g. B-s1,d0. To learn more about the meaning of these symbols and to browse products, go to the “ Wood ” subcategory.
