Intumescent coatings are used on structural steel, fire proof doors, and the exterior of homes in fire prone areas.

The National Institute of Painting and Decorating is proud to launch a new course in Intumescent Coatings, in collaboration with Fire Security International and Wall and Ceiling Institute. This new course has taken 6 months to develop and will provide training and nationally recognised qualifications for painters applying the ground-breaking new Fire Coat range of BAL-40 rated coatings.

With climate change continuing to increase the risk of bushfires, this training will prepare the painting industry to play their part in protecting buildings in bush-fire prone areas in Australia.

The course covers:

• chemical properties of the coating carbon supplier; acid source and expanding agent
• coating requirements for structural metal work, including coating performance differences between hollow and concrete filled structures
• coating requirements for timber
• compatibility of coatings to substrates
• fire resistance level (FRL) rating of intumescent coatings for a range of construction materials
• materials storage and environmentally friendly waste management
• plans, drawings and specifications for intumescent coatings
• processes for the calculation of material requirements
• quality requirements
• volume solids behaviour and impact on intumescent coatings performance.
