Intumescent paint is a reactive coating that swells upon heat exposure, increasing in volume and decreasing in density. This specialized paint reacts to heat by expanding significantly, forming a carbonaceous char comprised of numerous small bubbles. This insulating layer effectively protects the underlying substrate from the damaging effects of high temperatures.

The primary function of intumescent products, including fire rated paint, is to prevent structural collapse in buildings. This is crucial for load-bearing steel elements that can reach a critical state when exposed to extreme heat. The critical temperature of steel, at which its load-bearing capacity is compromised, typically ranges from 500°C to 620°C but can vary from 350°C to 750°C depending on the load conditions. For concrete, the critical state hinges on the temperature of reinforcing bars, usually ranging between 350°C and 500°C, and the internal concrete temperature reaching about 500°C.
