Hempel, a globally renowned supplier of coatings and fire protection solutions, has announced the launch of its latest passive fire protection solution—Hempafire Extreme 550This advanced epoxy passive fire protection coating provides up to four hours of fire protection, along with exceptional durability and application efficiency. Designed for cellulosic fires, this coating sets a new benchmark for fire safety in commercial and industrial projects.
Hempafire Extreme 550Certified under the Environmental Product Declaration scheme, the coating has a low embodied carbon value, and the reduced coating application by up to 40% enables faster and more cost-effective application.
Roger Soler, Global Product Manager for Hempel’s cellulosic passive fire protection coatings, said:“The launch of Hempafire Extreme 550 is a significant step in our mission to provide innovative and market-leading fire protection solutions. This product offers exceptional durability, load efficiency, and extended protection capabilities for lightweight steel structures. By meeting the needs of specifiers and applicators, this product ensures excellent results at every stage of the project.”
Hempafire Extreme 550Suitable for most steel structures, it allows building designers to use lighter gauge steel, reducing the overall weight and cost of the steel structure. While meeting aesthetic and functional requirements, it also provides a building-grade surface finish, fully compatible with a wide range of topcoats, offering design flexibility in color and gloss.
Roger Soler said:“With this latest innovation, we combine the durability and mechanical strength of epoxy passive fire protection technology with the application efficiency and ease of use that our previous Hempafire products are known for. This demonstrates our commitment to enhancing safety and productivity and solidifies our leadership position in passive fire protection.”
Additional Information:
For Specifiers:Hempafire Extreme 550 undergoes third-party certification and additional rigorous fire testing, exceeding fire regulations and ensuring reliable performance even in harsh climates. This givesspecifierspeace of mind that safety standards will remain consistent over time. Furthermore, ease of specification is a key advantage—this single product protects most steel structures, including lightweight ones, giving engineers greater freedom in steel selection. To further simplify the design phase, Hempel’sHEET dynamic calculation softwareprovides powerful support for selecting the optimal fire protection solution, ensuring efficiency and accuracy from the outset.
For Applicators:Hempafire Extreme 550 is designed to save applicators time, effort, and cost. Its lower dry film thickness requirement means less coating consumption, resulting in significant material savings. The product’s forgiving nature significantly reduces downtime during application, minimizing interruptions and ensuring smoother application. Faster application times significantly reduce transportation and application damage and the need for repairs, allowing applicators to achieve a more efficient application process. Furthermore, the high film build capability protects steel in less time with less coating, while the 24-hour readiness at 20°C speeds up project turnaround. As a solvent-free solution, it also promotes safer and more sustainable working conditions on site.
