Fire Retardant Coating · Paint & Coating Systems
Firetex FX5120 is a water‑based intumescent fire‑retardant coating that expands when exposed to heat, providing up to a B‑15 fire resistance rating on steel structures. As a Fire Retardant Coating, it is normally installed on the hull, ballast or cargo tank, deck, pipework or structural surface identified by the listed coating type. In that role, its primary purpose is to protect steel or other substrates against corrosion, fouling, cargo attack, heat or fire exposure as applicable. Antifouling, epoxy, ballast-tank, cargo-tank, fire-retardant and shop-primer systems have different surface-preparation and overcoating requirements, so products must not be interchanged without documentation. Capacity: Coverage 2-3 m2/L. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
