Intumescent Applications
We can provide the technical expertise you require to assist you in the selection of fireproofing options for any fire prevention needs you may have. Intumescent fireproofing are thin film decorative coatings designed for exposed applications where appearance is of primary importance. Finished off with an approved top coat, these fireproofing products are increasingly seen as the solution to achieving fire resistance ratings for exposed structural steel, gypsum board or wood surfaces.
Flame Control intumescent paints are ideal for a variety of substrates including wood, sheetrock, metals, fiberglass, composites, concrete, and open and closed cell foams. Flame Control Flame Retardant coatings are applied using the same methods as standard latex paints, and have the same aesthetic appearance as regular paint.
FireGuard E-84 and FireGuard XL-95 are cost and time-effective fireproofing solutions for various construction assemblies. Easy and quick to apply to a wide range of substrate materials, these intumescent and fire-retardant solutions minimize flame spread, smoke production, and structural damage. These products add no additional mass to existing building structures and the spray application allows for a smooth, even finish. FireGuard E-84 achieves a Class A extended rating and up to a 2-hour endurance rating on common assemblies, while FireGuard XL-95 achieves a Class A rating on raw wood applications. Both of these construction-grade FireGuard products meet ASTM, NFPA, and UL testing standards to provide an excellent fireproofing solution for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
