• If the fire temperature is high enough and long enough, the fireproof coating will not last long

Flame retardant paint has a fire resistance time of 30 - 60 - 120 minutes or more. However, if the temperature of the fire is too high, exceeding the limit of the flame retardant coating, this protective layer will not prevent the fire for long. There are regulations on the degree of fire resistance for different constructions. And fire retardant paint needs to ensure this regulation to best protect the building.
