AFC-400 Cementitious Fireproofing is a high-performance fire-resistant coating developed by Alvan Paint Company to protect steel and concrete structures against fire and significantly increase their structural stability during high-temperature exposure.
Engineered using state-of-the-art global Fireproofing technologies and certified international standards, AFC-400 plays a critical role in minimizing structural damage and reducing risks to life and property during fire incidents.
Steel components used in buildings begin to soften, lose strength, and deform at approximately 530°C.
Similarly, standard concrete experiences severe mechanical degradation, cracking, and even structural failure at temperatures above 500°C.
Without a proper fireproofing layer, a building’s structural integrity can rapidly decline, increasing the likelihood of partial or total collapse within minutes of a fire starting.
The primary function of fireproofing coatings is to delay the rise of structural temperature to critical levels. This extended resistance provides crucial time for:
Emergency teams to extinguish the fire
Safe evacuation of occupants
Preventing premature structural collapse
AFC-400 forms a durable thermal barrier that effectively insulates steel and concrete surfaces, significantly increasing the time required for the structure to reach critical temperature.
Exceptional fire and high-temperature resistance
Increases fire-resistance rating of steel and concrete structures
Strong adhesion to various metal and concrete substrates
Stable mechanical properties even under extreme heat
Produces no smoke, toxic gases, or odors during fire exposure
Manufactured according to international Fireproofing standards
Suitable for residential, industrial, commercial, and large-scale structures
Enhances overall building safety and reduces collapse risk
Applicable in various thicknesses based on structural fire-rating requirements
AFC-400 is ideal for thermal protection in a wide range of construction and industrial environments, including:
Steel structures and beams
Columns, girders, and structural connections
Tunnels and underground facilities
Warehouses and industrial halls
Shopping centers and high-rise buildings
Areas with high fire-risk requirements
AFC-400 stands out due to its advanced cementitious formulation, exceptional durability, and proven fire-resistance performance.
With excellent adhesion, long-term stability, and compatibility with diverse environments, it is the preferred solution for engineers, contractors, and safety specialists aiming to ensure maximum fire protection and structural reliability.
