WATERBORNE INTUMESCENT CLEAR COATING FOR TIMBER

AITHON PV33 is an advanced technology, water based, very low VOC, highly transparent intumescent coating for internal structural timber fire protection for up to 60 mins providing fire protection and decoration in one product.

AITHON PV33

The upgrading of the fire resistance of timber substrates in existing timber buildings that may be Heritage classified or of historical significance is a challenge, as it is important that during any restoration works the original appearance and natural beauty of the exposed timber surfaces is maintained. Using AITHON PV33, it is not only possible to upgrade the fire resistance of existing internal timber structures such as Heritage buildings, but it can also provide solutions for the fire protection of structural mass timber in new buildings.

Product Performance

AITHON PV33 is a transparent coating and when sealed with AITHON F3A, which is a waterborne non-yellowing clear coat, a subdued matt wax like sheen finish is imparted to the timber surfaces providing both fire protection and aesthetics. In new building design, the application of the AITHON PV33 and F3A system reduces the speed of carbonization in a fire event thus allowing a reduction in timber oversizing resulting in both cost savings and frame weight reductions.

Assessed in accordance to

AS 1530.4-2014 and AS 1720.4-2006 ; EN 13381-7 e EN 13501-2 ; Class A (tunnel test ASTM E84)

Product advantages

  • Low VOC (EU emissions testing documentation available on request)
  • Water based formulation
  • Transparent coating system to enhance natural timber look
  • Range of fire ratings up to 60 minutes
  • Reduces the environmental impact of restoration works on heritage structures
  • Can provide for reduction of timber oversizing in new construction design

Five Fire Prevention Tips to Ensure Safety in your Building

The goal of a fire safety plan is to ensure that not only do you mitigate the risks of the fire, but most importantly, that you secure the highest chance of survival for all in the building. A key is to have a safety plan, to test it regularly and – though less discussed when it comes to talking about keeping people safe, making sure that you employ both active and passive fire protection systems to reinforce your structure’s fire safety. There are a few other tips which we think you may also want to consider.
water-based intumescents have a lot of advantages over other fire rating options.

Water-based Intumescents: What You Need to Know

Let’s start with the basics: There are solvent-based and water-based intumescents which exist in the market. Aside from the obvious comparisons between the two types, there are a number of other things people should know about water-based and not-for-steel intumescents.
