Service overview
How Vortexen delivers this capability.
Structural fireproofing delays temperature rise so critical elements can maintain the required performance during fire exposure. The material family and thickness depend on the approved design basis and actual section.
Vortexen coordinates surface condition, primer compatibility, environmental limits, application thickness, reinforcement where required, repair and final inspection records.

Frequently asked
Answers before the first meeting.
01How is required thickness determined?+
It depends on the tested system, section factor, fire rating, critical steel temperature and manufacturer design data.
02Can fireproofing be repaired?+
Yes, subject to confirming the cause, substrate, remaining system, repair detail and acceptance route.
03Why does primer compatibility matter?+
An incompatible or poorly prepared substrate can compromise adhesion and the tested system build-up.
