With its new suite of Fire Stopping Systems, Tech Coating’s has just made fire stopping timber and steel penetrations much easier!

Tech Coating’s fire proof paint has made the leap to provide a fire rated solution for structural mass timber elements. It is compliant, quick and easy to apply and environmentally friendly.

Tech Coatings now provides a -/30/30 tested and endorsed passive fire solution for timber penetrations with either recessed or proud vertical web.

Christchurch Hospital chose to apply Tech Coating’s FBL-100 intumescent coating to existing substrates. This approach served a multitude of purposes, the primary ones being the guarantee to achieve the required FRR when upgrading fire-separating elements and at the same time disposing of the requirement to rip out and replace the existing linings.

By joining the NZGBC Tech Coatings show they want to lead the way for the Passive Fire Industry and show that it is possible to make positive changes.

Tech Coatings has formed an alliance with PaintPlus to supply IntuGuard — the only tested and endorsed passive fire coating solution for upgrading fire-separating elements in Australasia.

The Tech Coatings fire rated timber penetration system came with extensive testing data and technical support, allowing the project team to quickly gain approval from the passive fire engineer and council.

A change in Group Number is not sufficient for fire rating timber infill of rib and infill floor-ceilings. Tech Coatings provides a solution with their intumescent coating system tested to achieve an FRR of –/120/120.

Combining FBL-100 Intumescent Coating with BOSS FireMastic HPE, Tech Coatings' new tested solution for timber penetrations is fast, easy and cost-effective to install.

When looking at the fire resistance rating required by different timber elements within an existing structure, it is important to understand what each element is required to do.
