Passive fire protection systems are composed of tools and other engineered solutions that reduce fire occurrence or delay their spread in a facility for a certain period. It reduces the extent of damage, risk to lives, and gives people more time to vacate the establishment and ample time for emergency services to respond and act. Passive fire protection is commonly used in high rise buildings, houses, hotels, hospitals, industrial facilities, schools, warehouses, railways, car parks, railways, bridges, supermarkets, and on- and off-shore hydrocarbons. Passive fire protection coatings are increasingly important in the oil and gas industry. Applied to industrial oil and gas installations, the coatings expand to form an insulating layer of carbon char when exposed to high temperatures.
This enables the steel to maintain its load-bearing capacity for up to four hours longer during a fire, giving people valuable time to escape the building and for firefighters to put the fire out. Passive fire protection solutions for aerospace applications are extremely flexible, ultra-thin, and lightweight. This makes them the perfect choice for applications where available space is limited and additional weight must be kept to an absolute minimum. They allow for more design flexibility than traditional fireproofing materials without compromising passenger safety or comfort. The flexible microporous panels, calcium silicate fire-rated boards, intumescent fire-stopping seals and textiles, and wools are resistant to vibrations and thermal shock and maintain their integrity during and even after a fire.

Key Findings of the Study
Increasing Demand for Water Based Fire Protection Coatings
The Middle East construction and infrastructure sectors are booming, creating a substantial demand for fire protection coatings. Water-based coatings offer cost-effective solutions due to their lower Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) content and ease of application, making them economically viable for large-scale projects.
Water-based coatings have an increasing appeal due to their economic advantages. While water-based coatings may have a greater initial cost than solvent-based coatings, they provide long-term cost benefits due to their durability, ease of maintenance, and lower environmental effects. In the developing construction and infrastructure sectors of the Middle East, where large-scale projects are typical, the cost-effectiveness of water-based coatings appeals to developers and project managers.
These coatings can be applied on the surface of the structures to increase their durability and also protect them from fire. Water based coatings can accomplish from 30 minutes to 3-hour fire evaluations and even some restricted 4 hour alternatives for steel structures. Water based coatings have several advantages such as it does not affect or alter the intrinsic properties of materials such as mechanical properties, extensive properties, and others. These paints or coatings are widely preferred in the building and construction industries. Intumescent paint is a chemically active compound that on subjected to high temperatures forms a reaction that protects the structures from fire or explosion.
