Pintura intumescente is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under fire: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.
Scores compare Pintura intumescente with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Introducción profunda
Deep dive: Pintura intumescente
Pintura intumescente (acid source + carbon + spumific (typical APP/PER/MEL)) is a family of grades whose density wet film as specified, heat band designed to foam ~200–300 °C, and fire letter coating on A1 steel; system tested.
What “the material” actually is
Pintura intumescente is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry acid source + carbon + spumific (typical APP/PER/MEL), density wet film as specified, heat band designed to foam ~200–300 °C.
This atlas treats Pintura intumescente as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
Heat, fire and insulation
Conductivity note: char foam becomes the insulator. Insulation score 70/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.
Fire letter in editorial use: coating on A1 steel; system tested. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
How it is made and used
Origin: 1960s–70s commercial IFR; cellulosic vs hydrocarbon curves, US / UK / DE. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: steel.
Market and circularity
Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.
Circularity mark 42/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
