Prometheus Developments

Low odour solvent based thin film intumescent coating for structural steel

PD11 originally was:

• developed to compete with the “best in class” 1 hour solvent based product
• successfully evaluated on 1.5m columns
• ready for full scale certification when the client was subject to acquisition. The project was dropped by the new owners

Currently:

• formulation recently revived and further improved
• internal testing indicates competitive DFT efficiency
• designed to have relatively superior external exposure performance
• low odour solvents have the highest OEL rating
• these do not compromise through drying time or its excellent build characteristics

Development:

• evaluating if the solvent system can be accelerated to allow offsite use with the low odour and high OEL performance
• investigating a two hour version of this formulation

Prometheus Developments are seeking an exploitation partner for this formulation for:

• a three month option/development period at our normal consultancy rates to adapt the product to the required market profile with indicative fire testing
• full scale fire testing expected to be completed within six months and first sales within a year
• a royalty on sales
