Description
STI-A is a high-performance indoor non-intumescent fire retardant paint for steel structures, featuring a two-component, cement-based, water-based formulation that utilizes non-toxic, odorless inorganic materials to ensure no harmful emissions during application, service, or fire incidents. This premium fireproof coating delivers exceptional passive fire protection with low smoke emission (AQ1 certified) and minimal toxicity, effectively delaying heat transfer to steel substrates while maintaining structural integrity during fires. With 1-3 hour fire ratings compliant to GB14907-2018 standards and CCCF certification, this non-combustible solution is ideal for industrial plants, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects requiring reliable indoor steel fire protection. The coating’s low thermal conductivity provides superior resistance to temperature transfer, making it a safe, durable choice for critical structural applications where smoke suppression and environmental safety are paramount.
Key features:
✔ Low smoke & toxicity – Minimal smoke emission (AQ1 certified)
✔ Passive fire protection – Delays heat transfer to steel substrates
✔ Non-combustible & low thermal conductivity – Effectively resists fire for 1-4 hours
✔ Wide compatibility – Works with epoxy zinc-rich primers for optimal adhesion

Surface Preparation Guidelines for Indoor Fire Retardant Paint Application on Steel Structures
Primer System Requirements
After sandblasting, steel surfaces must be coated with a compatible anti-corrosion primer system. We recommend the “Jinyu” brand epoxy zinc-rich primer combined with epoxy micaceous iron oxide intermediate coat for optimal adhesion with the indoor fire retardant paint for steel.
Both primer and intermediate coats must form a continuous, unbroken film to completely seal the substrate, preventing potential delamination of the fireproof coating and substrate corrosion.
Alternative Primer Compatibility Testing
When using other primer systems, mandatory compatibility testing must be conducted either by certified laboratories or through on-site brush-out tests to ensure proper bonding with the non-intumescent fireproof coating.
Application Restrictions
Never apply fire resistant paint for steel directly onto:
✓ Unprimed steel surfaces
✓ Galvanized coatingsDirect application may lead to coating failure and accelerated steel corrosion.
Pre-Application Inspection
Before applying the indoor fire protection coating, thoroughly inspect for:
✓ Complete primer coverage
✓ Surface contaminants (dust, oil residues)
✓ Structural defects (cracks, inadequate welds)Application of the cement-based fireproof coating should only proceed after passing all inspections.
