History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 238990-25 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Fireproofing has been a crucial aspect of construction for centuries. The first recorded use of fireproofing dates back to the 17th century when the French chemist, Francois Richard, developed a plaster-based fireproofing material. In the 19th century, the use of asbestos became popular in fireproofing, but it was later discovered to be a health hazard. In the United States, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) was established in 1896 to develop fire safety standards. In recent years, advancements in technology have led to the development of new fireproofing materials, such as intumescent coatings, which expand when exposed to heat to provide insulation and protection. Additionally, the use of fire-resistant building materials, such as concrete and steel, has become more prevalent in construction. Recent history in the United States has seen an increase in demand for fireproofing services due to stricter building codes and regulations. The NFPA has continued to update its standards, and the International Building Code (IBC) was established in 2000 to provide a unified set of building codes across the United States. The tragic events of 9/11 also led to increased awareness of the importance of fireproofing in high-rise buildings. As a result, the fireproofing industry has seen steady growth in recent years.
