Hempel A/S announced the launch of Hempafire Extreme 550, its latest PFP solution. This state-of-the-art epoxy PFP coating provides up to four hours of fire protection while delivering exceptional durability and application efficiency.
Formulated especially for cellulosic fires, this PFP coating sets new benchmarks for fire safety in commercial and industrial projects.
Certified with Environmental Declaration Program, Hempafire Extreme 550 reduces paint application by up to 40%, resulting in faster, more cost-effective execution, while also having a low embedded carbon value of the paint itself.
"The launch of Hempafire Extreme 550 represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide innovative and market-leading fire protection solutions. Its exceptional durability, loadings efficiency and greater coverage to protect lighter steel buildings for longer make it a game-changer for customers across industries,” Roger Soler, group product manager Cellulosic PFP at Hempel A/S, said. “By addressing the needs of both specifiers and applicators, this product ensures outstanding results at every stage of a project.”
Hempafire Extreme 550 is suitable for most steel sections and allows building designers to use lighter steel types, reducing overall weight and costs in steel structures. Providing an architectural-grade finish while meeting aesthetic and functional requirements, it is fully compatible with a wide range of topcoats, offering design flexibility for color and gloss.
Roger Soler adds, “With this latest innovation, we have combined the durability and mechanical strength of epoxy PFP technology with the paint efficiency and easiness-to-apply known from our previous Hempafire products,” Soler added.
