FIRE-RESISTANT MATERIALS FOR STEEL CONSTRUCTIONS

Fire protection for a building is always an important step and should be considered carefully right from the early design stage. In our country, according to Decree 136/2020/ND-CP issued by the Government detailing many articles and measures to implement the Law on Fire Prevention and the Law amending and supplementing several articles, the use of fire-resistant materials to increase the fire resistance limit for building structures is more and more focused.

Therefore, it is necessary to have measures to increase the fire-resistance limit for steel, ensuring compliance with the regulations on fire prevention of the government. Here, let's learn about fireproof insulation materials with Mega Vietnam to increase the fire resistance limit for steel structures.

1. Using fireproof paint for steel structure

Fireproof paint is a measure to increase fire resistance for structures which is quite popular today. There are many fire-retardant paint brands on the market, but since Decree 136/2020/ND-CP was introduced, the requirements for fireproof paints have become more stringent than ever. Currently, all steel structures must be guaranteed 3 REI standards instead of EI as before.

2. Using fire-resistant mortar to increase fire resistance for steel structures

Fire-resistant mortar is a type of mortar when spraying to create a coating designed in construction to increase the fire resistance limit for steel structures, walls, roofs, etc. Insulation fireproof mortar is currently very popular because of its versatility and high efficiency. Fire-resistant mortar can be used for fire-resistant construction of components in many special projects such as nuclear power plants, atomic plants, fuel boom tanks, firecracker factories, paper production, or other biomedical departments.

3. Using plasterboard sheets

Fireproof plaster is also one of the effective solutions to increase the fire resistance limit for steel structures. However, this solution is less favored by Contractors and Investors because of its high cost, complicated construction, and especially it does not retain the original shape of the structure.

Above is some information we collect and summarize about some fireproof materials for construction components. Currently, Mega Vietnam General Trading Co., Ltd. together with Mega Vietnam New Materials Research and Development Center are providing a full range of raw materials as well as technological solutions to produce many types of products such as paints and coatings.
