No, this paint is a topcoat for Thermoguard Intumescent paint systems.

No, this is a topcoat for application as part of a system and will not achieve a level of fire protection on its own.

Assuming you are looking to achieve a level of fire protection on steel please provide the information below to [email protected]

- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Structural Steel Design Code (i.e. EuroCode, BS5950, BS476; Part 21, etc.)
- Building type (i.e. office, domestic, storage, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.

Thank you for the enquiry, we have contacted you directly for more information.

Thermoguard Flame Retardant Topcoat is suitable for use direct as a maintenance coat to bare or sound previously painted non-combustible substrates where the upgrading properties of a Thermoguard basecoats are not required.

Applying this product alone will not upgrade the level of fire protection of the substrate.

No, this is not possible as it would effect the Level of Fire Protection.

Please see our Blog post Painting the Walls around a Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove for details regarding this type of application.

We wouldn't recommend Thermoguard Flame Retardant Topcoat for plasterboard/plastered surfaces. We can offer an alternative system if you can advise the level of fire protection required - i.e. Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc?

You can use our products to achieve BS Class 1, Class 0, 30min or 60min protection on standard plaster walls and ceilings but the product you are currently looking at is not the one to do it. Please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 to discuss your requirements and they will provide a specification and quotation accordingly.

We recommend using Thermoguard Wallcoat Smoke & Flame Retardant Topcoat. This product isn't heat resistant and may discolour over time if continually subjected to high temperatures, but it is a much safer alternative to standard emulsion.

Thermoguard Flame Retardant Eggshell can be applied directly to wood but if you require any level of fire protection then Thermoguard Timbercoat must be applied first in accordance with it's instructions.
