OMEGA FIRE® is a one-component coating having a blend of eight different ceramics combined in a water-based formula to create a barrier against extreme flame impingement and heat migration. The coating can withstand direct flame up to 2000°F. by hardening on the surface at first contact, while continuing to provide the necessary insulation value. The resin blend binds the compounds together and forms a char to matrix the ceramics across the face of the coating, facing the flame.

OMEGA FIRE® is designed to stay intact with constant adhesion at extreme temperatures, while remaining flexible. It is applied over HPC® Coating to create a system to use over structural steel

 

 

TYPICAL USES:

 

• As fire protection for:
• Strategic locations on warfare ships.
• Engine rooms and galleys on commercial ships.
• Corner beams, elevator shafts, and stairwells.
• Walls, ceilings, and boiler rooms.
• To control and contain fires in high-rise buildings, prevent the spread and collapse of support structures.
• NYC approval for two hours on support beams.
• Additoinal test continuing (I beam)

 

 

APPLICATION METHODS:

 

OMEGA FIRE® can be applied to metal, concrete, masonry, and composite surfaces. The application can be by spray or by trowel. For specific instructions on surface preparation, mixing and application, please refer to the SPI Application Instruction sheet for HPC® Coating and Omega Fire®.

 

Notes:

• A prescribed thickness is required for specific temperature and duration of protection.
