Description
Intumescent coatings are a critical life safety product and a major profit opportunity, but they require technical expertise and a comprehensive understanding of the relevant code requirements.
This webinar gives you the complete foundation to confidently sell (or market) this high-value service, protect your clients, and secure your profits:
• Essentials of Intumescent Coatings: Get the complete foundation, covering what intumescent coatings are, why they are required as a critical passive fire protection product, and how they work by expanding when exposed to heat to form a thick, insulating char layer.
• Code & Compliance Mastery: Confidently differentiate between the Thermal Barrier and Ignition Barrier requirements, knowing precisely where each level of protection must be applied to meet the International Building Code (IBC) and pass inspections.
• Assembly Verification: Validate your work by understanding the NFPA 286 testing criteria and correct use of Evaluation Reports (like ICC ESR, Intertek CCRR, IAPMO ER) to match the specific spray foam on your jobsite
This webinar will be recorded and available in the Members/InfoHub section of sprayfoam.org within 72 hours.
