Thermoguard Asbestos Encapsulating Coating is also highly effective in sealing in any isolated asbestos fibers that may remain after primary asbestos removal has taken place. By encapsulating these fibers, the coating prevents them from being released into the atmosphere, significantly reducing the risk of exposure. The coating permanently bonds any residual asbestos fibers to the surface they are attached to or upon which they rest, ensuring long-term safety.

This product meets rigorous fire safety standards, achieving EN Class B s1 d0, Class 0, and Class 1 ratings, making it a reliable choice for both smoke and flame retardation as well as asbestos encapsulation.

This product not only guarantees up to 90 minutes of fire resistance for structural steel but also comes with the prestigious Certifire Approval, ensuring it meets the rigorous safety standards required in Ireland and beyond.

Certifications and Approvals:

While Sherwin-Williams ensures consistent quality, slight variations may occur between batches. It’s crucial to consult with our Technical Team for tailored specifications and advice before ordering, to ensure that your fire protection needs are precisely met.
