Hempafire Extreme 550

Description

Hempafire Extreme 550 is a two component epoxy solvent-free, chemically curing intumescent coating for passive fire protection of structural steel against cellulosic fires. It is optimized from R30 to R120 fire durations and for in-shop applications. Fire protection at R180 and R240 may be possible depending on the project. On-site applications may be possible depending on the equipment and set up.

Recommended use

As intumescent fire protection for structural steel in interior and exterior service conditions, up to Type X (EAD350402-00-1106 / EN 16623) and C5 conditions (ISO 12944-2). Suitable for I section beams, H columns, hollow sections and cellular beams. As a repair and touch-up coating for damaged areas of Hempafire Extreme 550.

Hempafire Extreme 550 is an advanced epoxy intumescent coating that delivers up to 4 hours of fire protection with up to 40% lower paint consumption. It enables easier application, reduced process times, and superior durability — even in harsh industrial areas of high humidity, aggressive atmospheres, and inshore areas with high salinity. Its high mechanical strength minimises touch-ups after transport, while its solvent-free formula ensures a safer working environment. Whether for in-shop or on-site use, it simplifies fire protection, lowers costs, and meets top industry certifications.

All in all, Hempafire Extreme 550 is the most efficient and reliable choice in the market, ensuring your assets stand the test of time even in extreme conditions.

Provides beyond 25 years of protection even in challenging C5 conditions, ensuring long-term asset safety and compliance with ISO 12944-6 and EAD 350402-00-1106.

Greater efficiency with fewer layers and lower paint thickness. Achieve the same fire protection while using up to 40% less paint, which reduces layers, process time, and overall costs.

Lower the CO₂ footprint of steel protection with reduced paint consumption and low embedded carbon values, ensuring greater efficiency and sustainability.
