Interior Non-Intumescent Fire Protection for Structural Steel

Product introduction and characteristics

T&H Limpet 263 is a gypsum-based fire protection coating mixed from lightweight expanded vermiculite, gypsum, special binders and selected fire protection additives, certified to the steel structure fire protection coating standard GB14907-2018, a product with excellent fire performance. Main product characteristics are as follows:

• Excellent physical properties and high adhesion;
• Fast and convenient application, economical material consumption and high film build;
• Comfortable and safe working environment, with almost no dust generation in the wet application process;
• No sagging, no cracking, no hollowing; reliable appearance;
• Contains no asbestos or other rock wool hazardous substances; green and environmentally friendly.

Product use

Suitable for fire protection of steel columns, beams, supports, floors and profiled steel decking in steel structures, such as civil steel-framed buildings, TV towers, stadiums, airports, stations, large shopping centres and industrial plants.

Application precautions

Substrate type: steel structure

Surface preparation: the substrate must be clean and dry, free of dust, rust, oil, laitance, incompatible primers and other possible

Media affecting bond strength may be present. Note: improper surface preparation can cause adhesion failure, leading to detachment, blistering and other hazardous defects.

Primer: compatible with common steel anti-corrosive primers, but considering long-term safety and to avoid

To avoid the influence of certain unforeseeable factors, T&H New Materials recommends spraying a dedicated bonding coat between the fire protection coating and the anticorrosive steel coating where necessary.

Material mixing: at the site, add water and stir for spray or trowel application. Add potable-water-grade clean water while stirring,

The mixing ratio shall strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the application conditions. Conventional or continuous mixers may be used; the mixer shall be kept clean and free from residues of the previous batch. The mixing speed of a conventional mixer shall be set to the lowest so that the material is fully mixed. Generally, each 20 kg bag of fire protection coating requires 3 minutes of mixing after water is added; insufficient mixing may cause blockages in the delivery pipes. The spray equipment shall be approved by T&H New Materials. The surface may be smoothed with a trowel, rolled flat, or left with the sprayed finish. Special note: an improper water-to-material ratio may increase the dry film density and the drying shrinkage rate of the dried film, which may cause cracking and detachment of the coating; follow the manufacturer's water mixing ratio recommendations.

Spray thickness: first pass 9–12 mm; subsequent passes typically about 15 mm each.

• For details, consult T&H New Materials Co.

Ambient temperature: the ambient temperature during application shall be above 4°C and rising;

application should not proceed when the temperature is below 4°C and falling; the maximum temperature of the substrate or ambient environment shall not exceed 50°C; the substrate temperature shall be at least 2°C above the dew point.

Quality control: the application process shall strictly follow the application work instruction;

during application, thickness measurement, insulation efficiency, density and slump tests shall be carried out at the required frequency, with data recorded.

Application team: T&H Limpet 263 shall be applied by an application team trained by T&H and holding an application qualification

certificate issued by T&H. Major equipment used for application shall be approved by T&H.

• Obtain the detailed T&H Limpet 263 application work instruction from T&H before application.

Packaging

20 kg/bag

Storage

Keep sealed in a ventilated, cool, dry place away from sources of ignition. Maximum 12 months.

Topcoat

In certain specific cases, a compatible fire protection coating topcoat is required. The topcoat improves decorative appearance, protects the fire protection coating and effectively prevents the growth of fungi and moss under severe environmental conditions. Contact the technical department of T&H New Materials for details.

Environmental impact

• Must not be poured directly into municipal drainage systems, rivers or soil;
• Not readily biodegradable;
• Does not accumulate in aquatic organisms; low adverse effect on aquatic life.
