Bollom Broflame Ultra Basecoat

Bollom Broflame Ultra Basecoat is a decorative thin film intumescent base coat that delivers a Class 0 rating over solid timber, timber-faced boards and particle boards when used in conjunction with Bollom Flameguard Ultra Topcoats. Bollom Broflame Ultra Basecoat is ideal for all types of interior timber in communal areas (e.g public buildings, schools, hospitals, etc.).

Together with one of the Bollom Flameguard Ultra Topcoats this system provides a means of achieving your desired colour scheme and finish, whilst providing Class 0 on the painted surface. The paints are designed to inhibit surface spread of flame and heat release, providing vital escape time in the event of a fire.
