The intumescent coatings market refers to fire-protective coatings that expand to form a thick, insulating char layer when exposed to high temperatures. This layer protects structural components—especially steel, wood, and concrete—from rapid heat transfer and fire-induced failure.
These coatings are widely used in:
-
Commercial & residential buildings
-
Industrial facilities
-
Oil & gas infrastructure
-
Tunnels, transportation systems
-
Warehouses & storage facilities
Growing emphasis on fire safety regulations, urban construction, and industrial risk management is propelling market expansion globally.
