Analysis of Jet Fire on IntumescentCoating Applied on SteelSubstrate

The use of intumescent coatings is one of the easiest, economical and most efficient
ways to protect steel component from heat generated in fire. By insulated the steel
substrates, the rate of temperature increase experienced by component from fire are
substantially reduced. Thus, this insulation imparts additional time for the application of
fire suppression and cooling the coated steel component reduces the potential for a
material failure of the component or structure. The purpose of this report written was to
discuss the progress job done; basic understanding, methodology and result obtain
regarding the final year project about the analysis of jet fire on intumescent coating
applied on steel substrate. The main objective of this project was to investigate and
study the interface bonding between intumescent and the steel substrate before and after
the jet fire burning. The investigation revealed the achievement performance
intumescent coating as fire retardant. The project was focused on the durability of
intumescent coating applied on the steel. The project also includes the characteristic
study ofthe intumescent material, the coating method that been applied on the steel, and
also to investigate the interface bonding between the intumescent and steel, before and
after exposed to the heat.
