PittChar XP®

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.
