Bollom Fireshield Ultra Universal Intumescent Basecoat is a single pack solvent-based intumescent coating for fire protection of both internal and external structural steelwork.

A Certificate of Performance and Installation is available on request and the product is fully fire tested to BS476: Parts 20 & 21.
The following application instructions are for on-site applications only.
Ensure that:
Bollom Fireshield Ultra Universal should be applied onto a clean, undamaged, dry and suitably primed steel surface. Certain types of primers can cause adhesion problems and should be avoided. These include: Chlorinated rubbers and Bitumen. Galvanized surfaces should be prepared by an application of T-wash or mordant solution followed by a compatible primer. The primer should be applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If a zinc rich primer is used, it is advisable to seal this with a suitable tie coat prior to shipment to site. If the steel is left exposed to the atmosphere with just a zinc rich primer, surface salts may build up on the steel. These salts, if not adequately removed, may cause adhesion problems for any subsequent coating applied. Removal of the salts can be achieved by high-pressure washing. If adequate removal of the salts cannot be guaranteed, a suitable tie coat may have to be applied prior to the Fireshield Ultra Universal.
Bolloms should be consulted for technical advice when over coating of existing paints are specified for use. For Zinc Rich primers, which are generally porous, the application of a sealer such as Torlife TP Sealer is essential.
