PittChar XP®

Last modified: 12/28/2007



Pitt-Char XP Coating offers enhanced performance that's far superior to conventional, rigid epoxy intumescent coatings.

  • Withstands normal movement of steel support structures
  • Damage from contact during construction or normal operating conditions is minimized
  • Good substrate adhesion because of excellent surface wetting characteristics
  • Controlled cure rate prevents inter-coat adhesion problems
  • Can be applied under a wide range of weather conditions, without compromising long-term performance
A thick-film intumescent, Pitt-Char XP coating offers outstanding fire protective properties. Exposed to fire, its unique chemical composition transforms its surface into a ceramic-like, insulating char that provides thermal protection for the substrate—even under hydrocarbon and jetfire conditions.

Pitt-Char is an epoxy. Its tough, durable coating provides a dense shield to the elements. As a result, Pitt-Char can stand up to solvents, acids, alkalis, salts and abrasion. That makes Pitt-Char your best choice for harsh weather or chemical environments and virtually any aggressive industrial environment…from arctic to tropical climates. Pitt-Char coatings have successfully protected substrates in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms and a variety of other "high-risk" industrial facilities.
