Subject: [LML] Fwd: Emailing: IMG_0276, IMG_0223 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.
