Pittsburgh-based PPG recently launched PPG STEELGUARD 951 epoxy intumescent fire protection coating in North and Latin America.
The product previously launched in Europe and the Middle East.
“We’re excited to expand our offering of PPG Steelguard 951 coating to the commercial infrastructure sector, specifically advanced manufacturing in countries such as the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Peru and Colombia,” Stuart Bradbury, PPG business development manager, fire protection, Protective & Marine Coatings, said. “This solution offers up to four hours of fire protection, meets stringent testing standards, and supports modern construction methods with its robust, flexible and efficient application properties. We are committed to partnering with our customers to ensure the highest safety and performance in their projects.”
PPG Steelguard 951 coating expands from a thin, lightweight film into a thick, insulating foam which allows it to provide up to four hours of fire protection. It is designed for advanced manufacturing facilities such as data centers and other commercial infrastructure, electric vehicle battery facilities, and semiconductor plants.
The product was tested in accordance with all recognized national and international fire and corrosion standards, and delivers up to 3,500 microns of dry-film thickness in a single coat.
PPG operates in more than 70 countries.
