Aithon A90H Intumescent Coating

Approved Contractor

Aithon A90H Concrete fire protection

ATOL is the leading approved contractor in the UK for Aithon A90H concrete fire protection coating.

Aithon A90H Intumescent coating is an Italian manufactured fire protection product that is unrivalled in its protection.

AITHON A90H creates a hard, reflective char with high insulation properties which shows excellent adhesion to the concrete substrate even after 4 hours of fire exposure above 1150°C, despite the slab deflection (289 mm after 240 minutes, with 4250 mm spam between slab supports), clay pot protection.

Aithon A90H Benefits:

Up to R/REI 240 on slabs and load-bearing walls providing incredible fire-resistant upgrades to structures and surfaces.
The coating has been tested to reduce carbonation by up to 78%.
The coating can be used as a thermal barrier to reduce the possibility of spalling in a fire situation.
The coating provides a durable finish that withstands services installation. If damage does occur it is easily repaired, unlike boarding or cementitious systems.
With a maximum loading of 1kg per m2 and a maximum thickness of 1.05mm it has a clear advantage over traditional systems when additional load or space is a primary concern.
Easy to apply by brush, roller or spray equipment.
Speed of application means costs are low with considerably less waste and clean up.
Waterborne with a low VOC.
Suitable for damp environments and temperature below 0°C with no need to apply a top-coating.
Decorative appearance provides architects with more freedom to show off the industrial aspects of a building.
Compatible with a wide range of colour finishes.

BS EN 13381-3 and BS EN 13501-2

Up to 240 minutes fire resistance

The BS EN 13381-3 regards the fire resistance of concrete structures and the performance of the intumescent coatings applied on concrete are expressed in terms of equivalent concrete thickness.

The method defines the quantities (in gr/m2 ) of intumescent coating required to achieve the same insulation performance provided by different thicknesses of concrete.

The calculation of the equivalent concrete thickness required for slabs and walls exposed to fire on one side is based on fire test results achieved on loaded slabs having minimum (500 gr/m2 ) and maximum (2035 gr/m2 ) applied quantity of intumescent coating. Linear interpolation between minimum and maximum is allowed.
