This Fire Protection Coating Expands into Foam to Protect Assets

Sept. 9, 2024
PPG Steelguard 951 is ideal for data centers and other infrastructure.

PPG Steelguard 951 is an epoxy intumescent fire protection coating designed for facilities like data centers, advanced manufacturing, and other commercial infrastructure. It provides up to four hours of fire protection by expanding from a thin, lightweight film into a thick, insulating foam. This maintains structural integrity, allows more time for evacuation, and minimizes damage to buildings and assets.

The coating delivers up to 3,500 microns of dry-film thickness in a single coat and cures rapidly; it’s ready for handling the next day. Steelguard 951 is tested in accordance with all recognized national and international fire and corrosion standards, including ISO 12944 C5, ASTM E119, UL 263, and ULC 5101.
