Do you have rough cost estimate, what the coating is actually called “street
name ?” and contact info for Marv at Diemech

Thanks

Jeff.

I thought some of you may be interested in an alternative to the standard
firewall blanket that I, and several others, have used.  It’s an intumescent
coating product.  Its used occasionally in the construction industry to
achieve fire ratings on steel structures.  It would be used more but the cost
is significantly higher than stand fireproofing or wrap assemblies.  It’s only
used when esthetics are a concern and you want to expose the structure.
Diemech Turbines sells it with their Turbine Conversion kit.  It’s applied in
(2) 3/32” thick coats.  When exposed to fire it expands filling voids.  It
allows you to have a really nice finish on your fire wall – if that’s of
interest to anyone – it was me.  Don’t quote me but I believe the UL rating
for this thickness is 3 hrs and I can’t remember at what temps.  I tested a
small section applied to carbon with a touch and it worked.  If you’re
interested I’d contact Marv at Diemech for details.
