Hempacore

First generation complete intumescent passive fire protection

Building safety should never be a question of compromise. That’s why we developed the Hempacore range of passive fire protection coatings.
All commonly used building materials lose strength when exposed to high enough temperatures. In extreme cases, even steel can buckle and collapse in a matter of minutes. Our Hempacore intumescent fire protection coatings insulate structural steel during cellulosic fire so it can retain its load-bearing capacity for up to 120 minutes, giving people valuable time to evacuate.
