Product Data

Pitt-Char® XP Fire Protective Coating is a two-component epoxy based intumescent coating. The unique, patented composition of Pitt-Char XP Coating produces a flexible and tough epoxy barrier which transforms into a ceramic-like, insulating char that provides thermal protection of the substrate even under hydrocarbon and jet fire conditions. Pitt-Char XP Coating also protects the substrate from corrosion and retains its fire protection properties under aggressive chemical environments. Product is applied by our global network of trained and certified applicators.
