Passive Fire Protection

Chartek is the world’s first epoxy intumescent coating that provides passive fire protection, jet fire resistance and long term in-field performance. It sets the bar for intumescent coating and is manufactured to the same exacting standards across the world. It is set to the Norsok M501 and ISO 22899 jet fire standard. With its carbon fibre mesh that provides reinforcement to the char formed during jet fire exposure, it is designed to form in these scenarios while also offering long term corrosion protection, maximising the life of oil and gas assets. Please see below for the range of Chartek products.
