Our services

Pacyfire Engineering LLP

provide specialist solutions in Intumescent Coating for steel structures

At Pacyfire Engineering LLP, our Intumescent Coating services are built on a foundation of engineering knowledge, coating technology and application control. We design and apply thin-film intumescent systems that protect structural steel against fire while preserving a clean, architectural finish. Whether the project is an industrial plant, commercial tower or infrastructure facility, our team ensures that every coated member achieves the specified fire rating with consistent quality and traceable documentation.

Service Satisfaction

At Pacyfire Engineering, Intumescent Coating is a core part of our passive fire protection offering. We support owners, consultants and EPC contractors in selecting, designing and applying intumescent systems that are compatible with project requirements, steel profiles and environmental conditions.

Our engineers review fire scenarios, steel sizes and exposure conditions to determine the required fire rating and dry-film-thickness (DFT). Based on this, we work with globally approved intumescent systems—solvent-based, water-based or epoxy intumescent—chosen for durability, aesthetics and code compliance. From refinery pipe racks and process buildings to airports, metro stations, malls and office towers, we help you protect visible and hidden steel without compromising the architectural intent.

On site, our trained applicators manage every step: surface preparation, priming, stripe coating, build-up of intumescent layers and sealing with compatible topcoats where required. We use calibrated inspection tools and strictly follow manufacturer’s datasheets and project QA/QC procedures. Each area is inspected for DFT, adhesion and finish so that the installed system matches both fire-test data and specification.

Whether the requirement is new construction, retrofit of existing structures or upgrade from cementitious systems to a thin-film solution, Pacyfire Engineering provides a complete intumescent coating package—from design support to maintenance.

Our Services in Intumescent Coating Include

  • Fire rating & system selection for structural steel in industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects.
  • Design thickness calculation (DFT) based on section factors, required fire resistance period and tested system data.
  • Specification of suitable systems – solvent-based, water-based or epoxy intumescent coatings, including primers and topcoats.
  • Surface preparation & priming of steelwork to achieve the correct profile, cleanliness and coating compatibility.
  • Application of intumescent coatings by airless spray / brush / roller for beams, columns, bracings, hollow sections and complex details.
  • Stripe coating of edges, welds and complex connections to ensure full protection at critical points.
  • Topcoat application and colour matching where an exposed architectural finish or UV resistance is required.
  • Inspection & quality control – WFT/DFT checks, adhesion testing, holiday detection where applicable, and as-built reporting.
  • Repair and maintenance of existing intumescent systems, including patch repairs, recoating and upgrading to higher ratings.
  • Technical liaison & documentation support with coating manufacturers, consultants and approving authorities.

With Pacyfire Engineering LLP as your intumescent coating partner, you gain fire protection that is engineered, documented and finished to the same high standard as the structures it protects.
