What happens if the relative humidity exceeds the maximum allowable level for placing TFIFRM?

When the relative humidity exceeds the maximum allowable level for placing Thermal Fireproofing Insulation and Fire Resistant Materials (TFIFRM), it is crucial to delay the application. High humidity can negatively impact the adhesion and performance of the fireproofing material. Excess moisture may lead to issues such as improper curing, potential mold growth, or compromised effectiveness of the fireproofing, which is critical for achieving the desired fire resistance ratings. By postponing the application until humidity levels are within the acceptable range, you ensure that the fireproofing is applied correctly and will perform as intended in a fire scenario. This practice is essential for maintaining safety standards and compliance with building codes.
