Designed to provide upto 120 minutes fire resistance to ‘I’ section beams, columns, hollow columns, concrete filled hollow columns and cellular beams. As a fast-track coating, all 120 minute loadings are possible to apply in a single coat and weather resistant in one hour.
Package contents
Use in well ventilated conditions and ensure all recommended protective equipment is worn during handling & use of this product.
For full recommendation, refer to the safety data sheet, available to download from the "attachments" section above.
No primer required for C1 or C2 environments.
Steelwork should be blast cleaned in dry atmospheric conditions using abrasive of suitable type and size, free from fines, moisture and oil. Continue blasting until finish complies with Swedish Standard SIS 05 59 00, preparation grade SA 2.5 or ISO 8501-1.
Coat blasted steel within 2 weeks. All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from loose friable materials and any other contaminants likely to impair adhesion.
Nullifire recommends and have tested a number of primers depending on the application. Contact Rawlins Technical Support team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for the Approved Primer list.
The system is not suitable for use over single pack primers and compatibility with 2 pack primers should be checked with Rawlins Technical Services. For use over galvanised surfaces or other substrates please contact Rawlins Technical Services.
Ensure adequate through ventilation during application.
Application temperature range -5°C to +35°C, relative humidity <95% and a steel surface temperature at least 3°C above the dew point.
Graco Mark V or equivalent.
Always mechanically mix product in full pack volumes.
Ensure the two components are thoroughly combined until a uniform colour is obtained.
Keep all product containers closed when not in use. Part B is moisture sensitive and should remain tightly closed before use.
The product is self-priming onto correctly prepared steelwork. Damaged primer does not need to be repaired in C1 or C2 environments.
The product should be spray applied at close proximity, approximately 600 mm from the surface, to avoid dusting and promote good surface coalescence.
Use of a wet film gauge is essential.
As a fast-track coating, it is possible to apply single coat thicknesses significantly greater than traditional coatings, up to 10 mm without defect. All 120 minute loadings are possible to apply in a single coat; however, we recommend that the applicator select a target WFT in line with substrate geometry, access and level of finish required for the project.
Note: If the user needs to stop spraying for longer than 15 minutes flushing will be necessary.
Galvanised bolts, once degreased, can be coated with no further preparation.
Damaged coatings can be trimmed to a feathered edge and the material trowelled in one application.
The applied product once cured can be easily finished to a high level, by sanding or tooling with either electrical or hand tools.
Repairs can be carried out using an S900 Repair Kit.
Flush spray equipment with FC150 or an equivalent xylene-based solvent, do not use solvents which contain water, as these can result in premature curing of the product in the spray line. Contact Technical Support if unsure of compatibility of cleaning agents.
Once DFT’s have been achieved as specified, a Nullifire top seal can be applied. Ensure the SC902 is completely dry before applying top seal. For approved top seals, please consult Nullifire’s Approved Topcoat List.
Damaged areas should be abraded back to a sound surface. The surface should then be clean and dry before re-applying. The SC900 repair kit should be used (sold separately) for repairing scratches and chips. Once repaired top seal should be re-applied. Refer to Nullifire System SC900 Maintenance Instructions.
