Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint

Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint is a water borne fire protection coating for interior use. This coating has been successfully tested on a variety of timber substrates to BS 476, Classes 0 and 1, which achieves B-s2, d0 Classification.

Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint can be applied to reduces the ignitability of soft and hard wood and other wood derivatives, i.e. plywood, chipboard, fibre insulation board, hard board, also on veneering ≥ 12mm thickness. Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint insulates against heat, checks fire, prevents propagation of fire and diminishes flue-gas density and flue-gas temperature. For interior use only, not suitable for surfaces exposed to mechanical stress.

Features & Benefits

• Water based
• Apply by brush, roller or spray
• Achieves the equivalent to Class 0 and Class 1 to EU Standard EN13501-1:2007
• Matt white finish
• When overcoating use only waterborne latex paints, applied at a total dry film thickness not exceeding 35 microns
• Can be applied over sound existing coatings
• Coverage rate of 3.7m² per litre

Certification

Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint has been tested to EN 13501-1:2007 on timber and composite wood substrates, European classes B-s1, d" and B-s2, d0 being obtained. Building Regulations classify C-s3, d2 as being equivalent to Class 1, and B-s3, d2 equivalent to Class 0. Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint exceeds both these classifications on timber surfaces when applied according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Technical Information

Preparation

Stir Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint thoroughly until free of lumps. Substrates must be dry (moisture content must not exceed 15%), free from dust, wax, grease, dirt, resin, etc. Existing coatings with poor adhesion must be completely removed. Coatings containing lime, chalk or lithopone should be removed.

Application

Airless Spray

• Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint should be applied undiluted
• Airless spray equipment with pressure ratio 30:1
• Hose diameter not below 3/8"
• Whipline 1.5-2m. NW6 may be used
• Recommended tip size 0.34-0.66mm or 0.17-0.027"
• Hoses must be used only for water based coatings

Brush/Roller

• Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint should be applied in supplied viscosity

Conditions

Object temperature not below +10°C, to max. +40°C, relative humidity max. 70%.

Application temperature shall be at least ≥ 3°C above dew point. In case relative humidity exceeds 80%, special measures must be taken to prevent condensation forming when applying. If the moisture content of the substrate exceeds 15%, the coating is unlikely to dry and blooming may occur. Moisture content should be at, or near that anticipated when in use.

Drying

At approx. 20°C temperature and 65% relative humidity approx. 6 hours. Lower temperatures and higer relative humidity may extend drying times. Allow 48 hours before overcoating.

Cleaning

Immediately after use, clean the equipment with water.
