The Critical Fire Safety Challenge
Understanding the risks and consequences of inadequate fire protection in modern structures
Buildings at Risk: The Urgent Need for Advanced Fire Protection
Modern structures face continuous risk of rapid fire spread, leading to devastating consequences including severe property damage, financial loss, safety hazards, and most importantly, endangering human lives.
Traditional building materials alone often fail to adequately delay flames, creating critical challenges during emergency situations. This inadequacy compromises evacuation time and hampers rescue operations, putting occupants and first responders at greater risk.
Without proper fire retardant protection, even small fires can escalate into catastrophic events within minutes, highlighting the urgent need for StarShield's advanced nanotechnology-based fire protection solutions.

How It Works
The science behind our advanced fire protection technology
Heat Activation
When exposed to fire, the coating activates and begins to expand, forming a protective layer.
Char Formation
The coating rapidly forms a thick, insulating char barrier that protects the underlying surface.
Heat Insulation
The char layer acts as an insulator, significantly reducing heat transfer to the substrate.
Flame Delay
This process effectively delays flame spread, providing crucial time for evacuation and fire response.
How to Apply
Simple application process for maximum fire protection effectiveness
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose particles. For steel surfaces, use a compatible primer as recommended.
Application Method
Apply using brush, roller, or airless spray gun. No dilution is typically needed, though maximum 5-10% water dilution is allowed if necessary.
Coating Process
Apply minimum two coats (three coats recommended) with a drying interval of 4 hours between coats. Recommended Dry Film Thickness (DFT): 150–250 microns per coat.
Coverage Guidelines
New walls: 60-70 sqft per litre per coat. Repainting: 80-90 sqft per litre per coat.
Where to Apply
Versatile application across various surfaces and structures
Structural Surfaces
Wood, Concrete, Masonry, Gypsum Boards
Interior Elements
Partitions, Walls, Ceilings, Doors, Timber Panels
Steel Structures
Requires compatible primer for steel applications
