PPG PITT-CHAR® XP modular construction The only patented flexible epoxy intumescent on the market The unreliable, fluctuating price of oil has made modular, off-site fabrication increasingly popular in oil and gas plant construction projects. Working this way is generally more cost effective for operators, but it is not without its challenges. Prefabricated steel sections are at risk of being damaged when they are transported from their point of manufacture to final assembly on-site, which can be thousands of miles apart. Any damage to the intumescent coating can impact its ability to perform...

PPG PITT-CHAR® XP modular construction Unique flexibility – extensive track record Originally introduced in 1983, PPG PITT-CHAR XP has more real-time history than any other epoxy intumescent coating available today with hundreds of projects successfully completed around the world. PPG PITT-CHAR XP often exceeds global standards as it provides protection during a 4-bar over pressure explosion test when the standard requires only 1 bar. This means that, under explosion conditions, this extremely robust product will protect the steel, even when there is significant steel deflection. Rigid epoxy...

PPG PITT-CHAR® XP modular construction Increase efficiency, save time, protect assets Benefits for modular construction The use of PPG PITT-CHAR XP intumescent coating increases fabrication speed and efficiency, resulting in faster turnaround of structural steel and enabling tight production schedules to be met. It is compatible for use over a wide range of steel substrates, including carbon steel and galvanized steel. As a single-product system with one mixing ratio, PPG PITT-CHAR XP is less complicated to apply than twoproduct epoxy systems. This ease of use also ensures that over-coating and...
