Intumescent coatings are reactive fire-protection paints applied to the tray surface—often factory-applied to control thickness and quality. Under fire exposure, the coating expands to form an insulating char layer, slowing heat transfer. ALTIC 007 is a water-based, intumescent fire retardant coating designed for cables, cable trays, and penetrations, providing up to 4 hours of certified circuit integrity as per NTH Mumbai testing. Our products, ideal for contractors, painters, and new businesses, meet fire and building codes, ensuring safety against fire risks in construction projects. So, what exactly is fire retardant. Most EPC specifications narrow the choice to two mainstream solutions: fire wrap systems (encapsulation) and intumescent fire-resistant coatings (reactive coatings).
