The use of intumescent coatings is one of the easiest, economical and most efficient ways to protect steel component from heat generated in fire. By insulated the steel substrates, the rate of temperature increase experienced by component from fire are substantially reduced. Thus, this insulation imparts additional time for the application of fire suppression and cooling the coated steel component reduces the potential for a material failure of the component or structure. The purpose of this report written was to discuss the progress job done; basic understanding, methodology and result obtain regarding the final year project about the analysis of jet fire on intumescent coating applied on steel substrate. The main objective of this project was to investigate and study the interface bonding between intumescent and the steel substrate before and after the jet fire burning. The investigation revealed the achievement performance intumescent coating as fire retardant. The project was focused on the durability of intumescent coating applied on the steel. The project also includes the characteristic study of the intumescent material, the coating method that been applied on the steel, and also to investigate the interface bonding between the intumescent and steel, before and after exposed to the heat
