Can we really afford, NOT to look after our assets? Re-mining & processing of carbon steel is unsustainable and not doing our environment any good. Please paint and coat well.

Did you know?
The Eiffel Tower in Paris is painted by Jotun. Repainted every 7 years to protect against rust using 60 tonnes of paint each time along with 25 painters and 1,500 brushes. Contrary to popular belief, the tower is in fact painted in three different colours that together give the illusion of one single colour – a feat that Jotun is proud to be a part of.

Calling all Architects!

Intumescent coatings are specialist fire-protective paints that expand when exposed to high temperatures. In a fire, the coating swells many times its original thickness, forming a thick, insulating char layer. This layer shields the underlying material—typically structural steel—from heat, slowing temperature rise and preventing early structural failure.

Passive Fire Protection (PFP) refers to built-in fire safety systems designed to contain or slow the spread of fire and smoke without requiring activation (unlike sprinklers or alarms). This includes intumescent coatings, fire-resistant boards, firestopping around service penetrations, fire doors, and fire-rated walls.

Why they are used:
Steel can lose around 50% of its strength at approximately 550°C. Intumescent coatings help maintain structural stability for a rated period (e.g., 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes). That extra time:
Allows safe evacuation
Enables firefighter intervention
Reduces structural collapse risk
Limits property damage
Helps meet building code and insurance requirements
Buying time buys lives. Fire resistance ratings are designed to provide critical escape and response time when it matters most.

Who should use them:
Commercial and industrial building owners
Architects and structural engineers
Main contractors and developers
Facilities managers
Infrastructure projects (airports, hospitals, data centres, transport hubs)
Any structure where maintaining structural integrity during a fire is essential for life safety, business continuity, and compliance should incorporate passive fire protection—especially intumescent coatings on exposed structural steel.

It's that time of the year! Please contact us for enquiries, Certified road-marking paints, retroreflective, road studs, Epoxy adhesives and glass beads.
EN 1436 is the primary European standard for road marking performance, focusing on how white and yellow road markings behave and appear to drivers once applied to the road surface. Unlike material standards that dictate composition, EN 1436 sets performance classes for visibility, color, and safety.
