Whether you are protecting a commercial high-rise or a residential renovation, Contego provides the thin-film solution that keeps your design vision intact while meeting the most rigorous fire codes.

Why Choose Contego Intumescent Paint?

Contego is renowned for its ultra-thin film application. Unlike traditional, bulky fireproofing materials that can detract from architectural details, Contego applies like high-quality latex paint. When exposed to extreme heat, the coating undergoes a chemical reaction, swelling to form a thick, carbonaceous char. This barrier insulates the substrate, significantly slowing the rate of heat transfer and providing critical time for evacuation and first response.

  • Unmatched Versatility: Contego is a “one-stop” solution. It is formulated to bond effectively with a variety of substrates, including structural steel, wood, aluminum, gypsum, and even polyurethane foam.

  • Safety & Sustainability: This is a non-toxic, low-VOC, and LEED-compliant coating. It is completely safe for use in sensitive environments such as schools, hospitals, and food-processing facilities.

  • Rigorous Testing: Contego products are top-rated and extensively tested under ASTM E-119, UL 263, and EN 13381-8 standards, ensuring reliable 1, 2, or 3-hour fire ratings.
