Cementitious Fireproofing Services in UAE: Protection That Stands the Test of Time
What is cementitious fireproofing?
Cementitious fireproofing is a spray-applied cement-based coating that protects structural steel from heat and collapse during a fire, available in low, medium, and high-density formulations. In the UAE, it is used across commercial buildings, petrochemical plants, and refineries to deliver fire ratings from 30 to 240 minutes on beams, columns, tanks, and pipe racks.

Cementitious Fireproofing: Options at a Glance
Cementitious systems are the traditional choice for robust, large-area fire protection of steel.
| Option | Typical use | Fire scenario | Typical rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprayed lightweight cementitious | Structural steel in buildings and protected areas | Cellulosic fire (ASTM E119 / UL 263) | about 1–4 hours |
| Dense or cast cementitious | Pipe racks, vessel skirts and columns in process plants | Hydrocarbon pool fire (UL 1709) | up to about 4 hours |
| Weather-sealed finish | External steelwork | Added over the fire protection | Protects against moisture and wear |
Ratings depend on the steel section factor, thickness and the approval certificate for the system used.
