Everything you need to know about Contego
Have a question?
Our friendly team is always here to help you with quick, clear, and reliable answers whenever needed.
What exactly is an intumescent coating and how does it work?
When exposed to heat or flame, Contego swells to form a dense char barrier that blocks oxygen, slows heat transfer, and stops fire from spreading, all while producing zero flame spread and zero smoke production under ASTM E84 testing. It applies like standard paint and protects like engineered fire protection.
What substrates can Contego be applied to?
Do I need special equipment or certification to apply Contego?
Is Contego safe to use in occupied buildings?
Is Contego code compliant in the US and Canada?
How do I get started?

Thin-Film Intumescent Fire Protection for Structural Steel Contego listings protect a wide range of steel section factors, giving engineers greater flexibility across different structural shapes.
Key benefits:
Thin-Film Fire Protection
Low DFT Requirements
Broad Section Factor Coverage (W/D)
LEED v4 / v4.1 Support
Tested Up to 3-Hour Ratings
The Best in Fire Retardants
Fire Retardant Protection for Interior Building Materials Designed to improve the surface burning performance of common interior materials such as wood, foam, and SIP panels.
Key benefits:
Class A Fire Retardant Performance
Protects Multiple Interior Substrates
Smooth Architectural Finish
Zero VOC / Non-Toxic
Economical Fire Protection
