DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION AND USE
Some inherently non-combustible surfaces, such as plasterboard and brick, can become a potential fire hazard due to repeated redecoration with conventional paints.
Different paint types from a variety of manufacturers will have been generally used over many years, with varying degrees of preparation. In a fire thick layers of old paint tend to delaminate rapidly, catching and spreading fire around a building. In extreme cases a lethal 'flash-over' fireball effect is created. The resultant risk to life and property can be greatly reduced at minimum cost using a combination of Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint, an insulating "intumescent" barrier coating, and Flame Paint, a hard top coat.
Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint is an intumescent undercoat for application to previously painted plaster, Artex, board, brick and concrete walls and ceilings. Overcoated with Flame Paint it insulates old paint films from fire, controlling the spread of flames along walls and ceilings.
INTUMESCENT FIRE PROTECTION
When exposed to a fire Intumescent Wall and Ceiling Paint expands to create a fire resilient barrier, insulating and protecting the Wall and Ceiling surfaces from heat and the oxygen required for fire.
TO SPECIFY

Apply Flame Paint (in matt, gloss, eggshell, vinyl silk or metallic finish) according to Manufacturer's instructions.
