Description
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.
Appearance when dry: Matt white
Mass density Approx: 1.29 g/cm³
Solids by weight Approx. 65% (according to EN ISO 3251
VOC Content Max. 0 g/litre (2010 EU limit: 140 g/litre)
Shelf Life 12 months from delivery in cool and dry storage conditions and
in original unopened containers
Surface Substrates: must be dry (moisture content must not exceed 15%), free from Preparation: 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 Methods: Airless spraying – material shall be applied undiluted
Methods: – 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
Brushing/Rolling – material shall be applied in supply viscosity
Application Object temperature not below +10°C, to max. +40°C
Conditions: 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 while 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/Curing: At approx. 20°C temperature and 65% relative humidity approx. 6 hours. Lower
temperatures and higher relative humidity may extend drying time. Allow 48
hours before overcoating
Cleaning: Immediately after use, clean the equipment with water
Certification: Zeroflame Fire Retardant Paint has been tested to BS EN13501-1:2007 on timber and composite wood substrates, B-s2,d0 being obtained.
