Carboline has released volatile organic compound (VOC)-compliant intumescent coatings Thermo-Sorb® 263 and Thermo-Sorb® E to provide a durable, decorative, fast-drying fire protection solution for commercial and light industrial applications.
Thermo-Sorb 263 provides up to four hours of cellulosic fire protection for interior structural steel, while Thermo-Sorb E provides up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection for exterior structural steel. Both coatings have been tested and certified in accordance with ASTM E-119, UL 263 and CAN/ULC S 101-07, and are rated for exterior and interior use. The intumescent reaction and resulting char production slows the rise of steel temperature and allows it to maintain its strength for an extended period of time, increasing time for safe evacuation and asset protection.
