Far more than reactive intumescent coatings

Fire protection for concrete and timber

AITHON not only produces intumescent, reactive coatings and fire protection for concrete and timber, and potted slabs, but also ensures specialised application through a team of approved applicators trained by AITHON. Furthermore, the company cooperates with IDF, which offers all complementary services:

  • Definition of any preliminary concrete restoration, when needed.
  • Adhesion/cohesion testing between rendering or plastering mortars, or old paints and the substrate to which they are applied, in order to verify that they are a suitable substrate for a fire protection coating.
  • Detailed cover survey and thermal map modelling, for a precise evaluation of the existing level of fire resistance.
  • Exact calculation of the quantities of AITHON products required for the fire resistance upgrade.
  • In situ verification and certification of applied thicknesses.
  • Issuance of a Fire Resistance Structural Appraisal according to BS EN 1992-1-2.

IDF is an independent fire engineering company with extensive international experience, particularly in the field of reinforced concrete.
