Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine has introduced FIRETEX M90/03 passive fire protection, an intumescent coating that meets UL 1709 testing requirements for onshore passive hydrocarbon fire protection.

The product has been tested and approved for application at variable dry film thicknesses for different pieces of steel used on an asset. Without a topcoat, it also meets all UL 2431 durability testing requirements related to combination wet/freeze/dry cycling, salt spray resistance, and acid spray.

The coating provides UL 1709-certified protection against the intense heat of hydrocarbon pool fires for up to four hours, making it suitable for use in onshore oil and gas refining and chemical processing environments.
