Abstract
Intumescent coatings (ICs) represent nowadays a dominant solution for fire protection of steel structures, due to the progressive decrement of the costs, increment of the performance and advantages in comparison to inert protections in term of
encumbrance, appearance, weight, and offsite application. Advances in the development of more efficient and less costly ICs extended the market of such type of fire protection well beyond the original use in low‐rise steel buildings. Nowadays
ICs are used to protect high‐rise buildings, car parks, industrial halls, off‐shore structures, and even bridge cables [1].
