DATA
SHEET DESCRIPTION AND
USE Some
inherently non-combustible surfaces, such as plasterboard and brick, can become
a potential fire hazard due to repeated redecoration with conventional paints. Different
paint types from a variety of manufacturers will have been generally used over
many years, with varying degrees of preparation. In a fire thick layers of old
paint tend to delaminate rapidly, catching and spreading fire around a building.
In extreme cases a lethal 'flash-over' fireball effect is created. The resultant
risk to life and property can be greatly reduced at minimum cost using a combination
of Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint, an insulating "intumescent" barrier
coating, and Flame Paint, a hard top coat. Intumescent
Wall and Ceiling Paint is an intumescent undercoat for application to previously
painted plaster, Artex, board, brick and concrete walls and ceilings. Overcoated
with Flame Paint it insulates old paint films from fire, controlling the spread
of flames along walls and ceilings.
INTUMESCENT
FIRE PROTECTION When
exposed to a fire Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint expands to create a fire
resilient barrier, insulating and protecting the Wall and Ceiling surfaces from
heat and the oxygen required for fire.
TO
SPECIFY Prepare
surfaces and apply Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint to Class 1 and Class 0. Apply
Flame Paint (in matt, gloss, eggshell, vinyl silk or metallic finish) according
to Manufacturer's instructions.

paint finish coats and 12 hours between Gloss coats of Flame Paint finish. Intumescent

with a fully dried top coat before exposure to the elements.
QUALITY ASSURANCE Intumescent
Wall and Ceiling Paint is manufactured under the principles of BS 5750/ISO 9000
COMPOSITION Intumescent
compounds. Intumescent paint resin binders. High opacity pigments.
ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH & SAFETY Intumescent
Wall Paints are made within a low odour, water-based system, thus making them
user and environmentally friendly.
Click
to Home Page 'Fire
Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Fire Resistant
Paint, used as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent
Paint, which is relatively soft. Class O and Class 1 are Classifications used
regarding fire action on the surface of the paint, whereas 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes
and 90 Minutes describe the period of protection given by the underlying Intumescent
layers of Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish against fire penetration. We
can provide an Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the wood to be
protected, and a separate price for the Flame Paint used as a top coat, which
acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself.
