Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint is a waterborne fire protection coating for interior use. This coating has been successfully tested on a variety of timber substrates to BS EN13501-1:2007 achieving B s2 d0 (replaces UK Classes ‘0’ and ‘1’ BS 476 Part 6/7*). It is suitable for use over sound existing coatings and can be over-coated with waterborne, non-flammable paints where a decorative finish is required. This single-pack, waterborne product is extremely simple to use.

Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint can be applied to reduce 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. 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.

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

Wet film thickness (WFT): 270 microns; Dry film thickness (DFT): 170 microns.

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 0.017-0.027
• 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 higher relative humidity may extend drying times. Allow 48 hours before overcoating.

Cleaning

Immediately after use, clean the equipment with water.

Health & Safety Information

Please observe safety instructions on container labels and local regulations. Dangerous Goods regulation should be followed. During application in closed rooms, pits and shafts, etc. sufficient ventilation must be provided. Keep away from naked flame, including welding. In poorly lit rooms, only electric safety lamps are permitted. The installed ventilation equipment must be spark-proof. In a liquid or not fully cured state, the product contaminates water and should not be allowed to enter drains or be spilled onto open ground. All spillages and liquid waste must be removed according to local health and safety regulations.
