Fire-safety requirements often require that structural beams be coated in flame resisting substances or materials that allow the member to maintain its structural integrity in the event of fire. Historically, products like MonokoteTM and intumescent paints have been utilized. Each of these products has its place, however, both have limitations and downsides. MonokoteTM is a very messy, cumbersome product to use. Over time, this substance degrades and falls from the underlying beam or member, makes beam repair or modification difficult, and is an eyesore—eliminating the possibility of exposed beam construction for aesthetic appeal as seen in some of the most cutting edge and beautiful architectural designs.
NeroshieldTM is a thin, non-obtrusive substance that lightly coats the surface of the substrate. It is not messy, can be tinted to most hues, and can be applied in the field or in the shop. NeroshieldTM works by bonding with the substrate, effectively changing the molecular structure at the surface. Because of this bonding effect, NeroshieldTM can be applied in much thinner layers, offering superior fire protection at lower material costs and with fewer man hours.
