A water-based product to apply over HW01F – no need for an Undercoat. FINISH: GLOSS. For INTERNAL & EXTERNAL use. White or Coloured. Discolouration may occur on some types of timber or on heavily knotted wood. If this is a concern it is recommended that a sample area is completed before application to the whole project. Alternatively, application of a compatible varnish or stain AFTER application of Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment may help overcome this phenomenon if it is unacceptable After treatment of the substrate with Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment, the appearance of the timber should be virtually unchanged. Once you have prepared your door for the above items now clean the surface and then rub down any previous coating to give a good, grease and oil free ‘key’ to accept the new coating more readily.A water-based product to apply over existing paint, varnish or wax surfaces, before applying other coatings.

These fire retardant qualities can delay the spread of the fire in your home by anything from 30 minutes up to 3 hours allowing fire services additional time to get flames under control and reduce the extent of fire damage in your home. Does Fire Retardant Paint Actually Work?

These coverings are rated by the amount of time, in the case of a building fire, that they can provide resistance to fire. Intumescent paint is a popular choice for applying to timber, steel and plaster building materials The details outlined below can be applied to any and all cast iron or steel products whether they have been previously painted or whether they are unpainted but cannot be applied to any doors. It is good practice to key the surface while wet using waterproof abrasive paper or pads if the surface is new or you are applying a water-based finish on top of solvent-based or glossy paint, or on a very hard and impermeable surface. At approx. 20°C temperature and 65% relative humidity approx. 6 hours. Lower temperatures and higher relative humidity may extend drying times. Allow 48 hours before overcoating. Those familiar with the fire triangle will be aware that a fire needs three elements to spread; heat, oxygen and fuel. Using fire retardant paints in your home or office fights fire in two ways. It protects your surface, reducing the amount of fuel available to the fire, thus removing the third element of the fire triangle and slowing the fire spread considerably.The basis of this test is to ensure that any coverings do not increase a fires temperature levels or intensity and does not enable it to spread

With clear wood intumescents a topcoat is needed to stop them turning milky in colour. This happens when the intumescent reacts with water Paints are tested under three ‘test standards’ and these are separated in different ‘classes’ set by the British Standard Institute (BSI). Each of the standards is given a code name and part number which are detailed below. However, these paints and coatings are typically not appropriate for critical infrastructure like steel. For most projects that involve structural steel or other critical infrastructure, you’ll need an ASTM E-119-certified fire resistant paint. Care must be taken to comply with the coverage rate, including allowance for wastage, as inadequate application will affect the fire protection.

Certification – Why do I Need a Certificate?

We’ve partnered with top-rated fire resistant coatings suppliers that can provide a free consultation and paint specifications. You can start connecting with FlameOFF Coatings here. Fire Resistant Paint for Metal All our products meet British Standard requirements and are issued with a certificate of conformance (our products now also conform to most European standards too). Both fire retardant paint and intumescent paints can be applied to wood surfaces, however, intumescent paints are better suited to timber materials as the insulating effect of fire retardant paint is more limited than that of intumescent or fire-resistant paint. What Paint to Use for Fire-Proofing A range of clear and white intumescent fire-resistant paint for wood. Giving protection to various wood and wood-derived materials. It is ideal for painting or upgrading existing wood or timber surfaces to either 30 or 60 minutes of fire protection. This paint is especially suitable for use on insulation board, MDF board, plasterboard, wood, and some wood-derived products. There is no need to strip off the existing paint or varnish as Envirograf adhesion primer is also available. See our references tab for full details of products in this range. Paint application using a brush, roller, or spray. Additionally, this range provides UV protection for external timber surfaces.
