- Product Description
Water-Based Fire Retardant Coating for Steel Structure
Our water-based fire retardant coating for steel structure provides enterprise-grade fire protection for essential steel infrastructure. With 30+ years of coating expertise, Henan Banggu Fire Technology Co., Ltd. creates intumescent fireproof solutions with 20:1 expansion ratio, 2-hour fire resistance, and 1200℃ temperature resistance. Adhesion grade 0 and thermal conductivity ≤0.12 W/(m·K) provide a lightweight, eco-friendly coating that meets ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 requirements, while maintaining VOC compliance at ≤120g/L
Why Choose Our Water-Based Fireproof Coating?
Exceptional Fire Protection Performance
Your steel structures need top fire protection. Fire rapidly extends our coating, creating a strong carbonised insulating layer that protects steel beams, columns, and trusses. This prevents structural deformation and maintains load-bearing capacity during critical moments.
Intumescent technology works in flames. The coating expands to provide a foam barrier that limits heat transmission as temperatures climb.
Environmentally Safe and User-Friendly
Safety and environmental responsibility coexist. Product contains no volatile chemicals and mild smell. Green and safe for your project and the globe.
The safer application method than solvent-based choices will impress your staff. Industrial, commercial, and residential buildings benefit from the low-toxicity formula, which meets global indoor environmental standards.
Easy Application and Fast Project Completion
Time matters in constructing. Our coating is quick-drying and simple to apply. Spray, brush, or roll it, although spraying is best for large operations because to its efficiency and beautiful finish.
The coating cures in 12–24 hours and dries to touch in 0.5–1 hour. This reduces team labour costs and speeds project completion.
Versatile for Multiple Applications
This coating suits industrial facilities, commercial office buildings, gymnasiums, and high-rises. It adheres well to steel structural components and has variable fire resistance ratings from 0.5 to 3 hours depending on coating thickness.

Customization Options for Your Brand
Private labelling or bespoke formulations? Our OEM/ODM services are versatile. Logos, packaging, colours, and branding may be customised while we manufacture with quality control. You can confidently introduce items in target markets quickly.
How to Apply for Best Results?
Preparation leads to success. Maintain a 3°C substrate temperature above the dew point. Work in 5-40°C temperatures with ≤85% relative humidity.
In rain, fog, or high winds, do not apply. Consider 1.2-1.5 kg/m² per millimetre of thickness for best coverage. Let 4 hours pass between coats, longer in chilly weather.

The water-based fire retardant coating for steel structures works with ordinary spraying, brushing, and rolling techniques. The simple application will please your team.
Storage and Safety Guidelines
Unopened containers should be kept cold, dry, and vented away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly kept at 5–45°C, it lasts 12 months.
Offer masks, goggles, and gloves to workers during application and provide proper ventilation. Water-based and low-toxicity, following safety rules assures the healthiest workplace.
FAQ
Q: How does intumescent technology work?
A: Fire rapidly foams and expands our covering, creating a dense carbonised insulating layer. This inhibits heat and flames, reducing steel temperature growth. The fire resistance grade is met since your structure is stable during fires.
Q: How do water-based and solvent-based coatings differ?
A: We use water-based coatings that are eco-friendly and odourless. You can apply them safely and fulfil tighter environmental criteria. Solvent-based solutions dry quicker, while water-based ones are more eco-friendly and fire-resistant.
Q: Which requirements does this coating meet?

A: Our product meets GB 14907-2018 "Fireproof Coatings for Steel Structures" standard. Complete national fire protection product test results make it appropriate for fire safety inspections and regulatory compliance.
Q; Do fire resistance ratings need different thicknesses?
A: By rating, 0.5h requires 1.5mm, 1.0h 1.5–2.2mm, 1.5h 1.8–3.3mm, and 2.0h 3.0–4.5mm. Refer to your project's test report for exact requirements.
Q: Can I decorate this fireproof coating?
A: Yes! You can apply appropriate water- or solvent-based topcoats once the coating cures. This improves aesthetics and stain resistance without reducing fire protection. Custom colours are possible, although white and light grey are standard.
