Sherwin-Williams Launches FIRETEX® FX9500 Scrim-Free Epoxy Intumescent

Sherwin-Williams’ has launched a scrim-free epoxy intumescent to give architects more flexibility in design and more room for manoeuvre in terms of staying below budget.

Find out more about the FIRETEX^® FX9500 at FIREX 2016 in June, where Sherwin-Williams is exhibiting.

The product:

FIRETEX^® FX9500 offers protection against cellulosic fires on projects where external long-term durability is a concern.

Features:

• The new coating covers 60, 90 and 120-minute time periods on a wide range of steel sections with competitive loadings
• Tough and durable it boasts high build and high sag resistance and a single leg airless spray
• Mesh free, 95% volume solids and free of boric acid
• Compared with similar products on the market the FX9500 was easily applied through a single leg pump, with little odour and an “exceptional” finish (a finish competing products could only match with a sanded-off higher film, which created wastage and a less safe working environment). The previous generation of the coating, M95, was used in a C5 environment on the external steel work of the Leadenhall building in London
