Presented by Synthomer
Recorded on February 18th, 2026
Join Synthomer for an in-depth webinar exploring the science behind intumescent coatings and their critical role in fire safety. When a fire breaks out, every minute matters. Intumescent coatings are engineered to protect structural steel by expanding under heat, forming an insulating char layer that delays collapse and provides valuable time for safe evacuation.
This session is designed to help coatings professionals understand why binder chemistry is essential for achieving reliable fire protection performance. Unlike other passive fire protection methods, intumescent coatings offer the unique advantage of preserving the aesthetics of steel structures while delivering robust fire resistance.
When you attend this webinar, you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of how intumescent coatings work and why they are vital for structural fire protection.
- Learn about the role of binder chemistries in intumescent systems and how they influence performance and durability.
- Discover the latest advancements in polymer technology for cellulosic fire protection coatings.
