VS Steel Coating VM
Product Description
VS Steel Coating VM is a cement-based fire retardant paint and steel coating used in
structures to offer fire resistance and insulation. It is effective in preventing the collapse of
steel structures due to the lack of bearing capacity during a fire.
Steel structures lose their bearing capacity at a temperature of about 550°C. It is therefore very vulnerable to distortion and destruction in fire. a If all the exposed steel surfaces are coated with VS Steel Coating VM, a fire resistance of up to 2 hours can be achieved. It is
therefore one of the most reliable fire resistant paint solutions available in the market.
The coating is applied over a reinforcement metal lath that is securely fixed to the steel
structure by means of welded studs. Prior to applying the VS Steel Coating VM, it is necessary that the steel is treated with an anti-corrosive primer.
VS Steel Coating VM is designed to perform under harsh environmental conditions like
weathering, aging, vibrations, temperature changes, and water logging. The product is non-toxic, halogen-free, resistant to vermin, termites, rodents, and is a reliable for industrial as well as commercial establishments.
Testing Details
- Product is Tested as per ASTM E 119 & UL 263.
Product Description
VS Steel Coating VM is a cementitious structural steel coating designed to provide fire resistance and thermal insulation to steel structures. It effectively prevents collapse of structural steel due to loss of load bearing capacity during fire exposure.
Steel typically loses its mechanical strength at around 550°C, making it highly susceptible to deformation and failure in a fire conditions. When all exposed steel surfaces are coated with VS Steel Coating VM, a fire resistance rating of up to 2 hours can be achieved.
The coating is applied over a reinforcement metal lath, which is securely fixed to the steel structure using welded studs. Before application, the steel surface must be treated with an anti-corrosive primer to ensure proper adhesion and long-term durability.
VS Steel Coating VM is engineered to withstand weathering, aging, vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and water logging. It is non-toxic, halogen-free, and resistant to vermin, termites, and rodents, making it a robust and reliable choice for protection of steel structures from fire in an industrial and commercial establishment.
