About Souq Al Haraj Phase 3
Al Ibtikar Al Hadeeth Technical Works is a leading fireproofing company in the UAE, specializing in the application of intumescent paint and cementitious fireproofing. One of their notable projects was the Poland Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, which had a steel surface area of 11,000 square meters. To ensure its fire safety, the team used water-based intumescent coatings, specifically Sherwin-Williams Phoenix 370-90 and Phoenix 370-60. These intumescent paints, along with other intumescent paint ingredients, work by swelling up and creating a thick, insulating layer that protects the steel from the heat of a fire. The project was completed in 2020 and had a fire rating of up to 120 minutes, thanks to the fire retardant intumescent coating. Sherwin-Williams Phoenix 370-60 and 370-90 data sheets were consulted to ensure the highest quality of application. Al Ibtikar Al Hadeeth Technical Works takes pride in their work, providing industrial fireproofing and intumescent coatings that are vital for passive fire protection in the UAE. They offer a range of services, including intumescent paint, cementitious fireproofing, cable and duct coating, and fire retardant paint.
