Steelguard 951 has been designed for modular constructions.

Pittsburgh, PA, USA – PPG’s Steelguard 951 epoxy intumescent fire protection coating is designed for advanced – read high value – manufacturing facilities, including semiconductor plants, electric vehicle battery facilities, data centres and other commercial infrastructure.

It provides up to 4 hours of fire protection by expanding from a thin, lightweight film into a thick, insulating foam. This maintains structural integrity, allows more time for evacuation and minimises damage to buildings and assets.

The coating delivers up to 3,500 microns of dry-film thickness in a single coat and cures rapidly, ready for handling the next day. PPG Steelguard 951 coating is ideal for modular construction projects optimised for off-site and field applications. PPG’s patented flexible epoxy technology ensures excellent durability and edge retention, reducing the risk of cracks during handling and transportation, and provides corrosion resistance up to ISO 12944 C5 without a topcoat.

“This solution offers up to 4 hours of fire protection, meets stringent testing standards, and supports modern construction methods with its robust, flexible and efficient application properties,” said Stuart Bradbury, PPG business development manager, fire protection, Protective & Marine Coatings. “We’re committed to partnering with our customers to ensure the highest safety and performance in their projects.”

PPG Steelguard 951 coating is tested in accordance with all recognised national and international fire and corrosion standards, including ISO 12944 C5, EN 13381-8, BS 476 standards, GB 51249, GB 14907, ASTM E119, UL 263 and ULC 5101.
