How PF8 Protects Steel
When exposed to high temperatures, DAKEN PF8 undergoes an intumescent reaction and expands to form a thermally insulating protective char layer.
The char layer reduces heat transfer from the fire to the steel substrate, helping delay the temperature rise of structural steel and maintain its load-bearing capacity for the required fire protection period.
The required coating thickness depends on the steel section factor, critical steel temperature, fire exposure, required fire resistance period and approved coating system.
Lloyd’s Register Type Approval
DAKEN PF8 has obtained Lloyd’s Register Type Approval for the applicable approved scope.
The certification provides independent third-party recognition for the approved product and system and supports its use in marine and offshore fire protection projects.

Typical Applications
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Facilities
Daken PF8 is a high-performance Epoxy Intumescent PFP Coating designed for critical structural steel in oil & gas, refinery, and petrochemical facilities. It provides reliable Hydrocarbon Fire Protection for pipe racks, process units, equipment supports, and safety-critical structures, helping maintain structural integrity during fire events.
LNG, Offshore Platforms and FPSOs
Engineered for demanding marine and energy environments, Daken PF8 is ideal for LNG Fire Protection, Offshore Passive Fire Protection, and FPSO Fire Protection applications. Its lightweight design and excellent durability make it suitable for topside modules, utility areas, processing facilities, and offshore structural steel.
Jet Fire and High-Risk Process Areas
Daken PF8 can be applied in areas exposed to severe hydrocarbon fire hazards, including high-pressure gas processing systems and process modules requiring enhanced Jet Fire Protection. The coating forms a stable insulating char that helps protect load-bearing steel during extreme fire exposure.
Power, Energy and Industrial Infrastructure
Suitable for power generation plants, hydrogen facilities, industrial utilities, and energy infrastructure projects, Daken PF8 provides long-term Passive Fire Protection while reducing maintenance requirements compared with traditional fireproofing systems.
Modular Construction and Fabrication Yards
Daken PF8 is well suited for shop-applied fireproofing of modular process units, skids, and prefabricated structures. Its efficient application and durable performance help reduce installation time and lifecycle costs.
FAQs about Hydrocarbon PFP Coatings？
1、 What are the advantages of Hydrocarbon PFP Coatings compared to cementitious coatings?
Epoxy intumescent coatings offer superior durability, water resistance, impact resistance, and are suitable for harsh environments such as offshore, petrochemical, and industrial facilities.
2、What fire ratings can Hydrocarbon PFP Coatings achieve?
Depending on the product and thickness, epoxy intumescent coatings can provide fire resistance ratings from 1.5 hours up to 3 hours or more, compliant with international standards such as UL, BS, and ISO.
3、How does Hydrocarbon PFP Coatings work in a fire?
When exposed to fire, the coating reacts chemically and expands up to 5–10 times its original thickness, creating a dense char layer that slows heat transfer and maintains the structural integrity of steel.
4、What thickness is required for fire protection?
The required dry film thickness depends on the steel section factor, critical steel temperature, fire exposure and required fire resistance period. DAKEN can provide project-specific technical recommendations.
5、Is PF8 a solvent-free coating?
Yes. PF8 is a 100% solids, solvent-free epoxy intumescent coating with low VOC content.
6、Is DAKEN PF8 suitable for hydrocarbon fire protection?
Yes. PF8 is designed for hydrocarbon fire protection applications in oil & gas, petrochemical, offshore, FPSO and related industrial facilities.
