Applications & Uses
- Surface preparation
Surface preparation should be carried out according to good painting practices. All dirt, grease, oil, wax, rust and other foreign matter must be removed with a detergent. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Repair all cracks, holes and other surface irregularities. Allow to dry, sand lightly and prime repaired surfaces with No. 40-40A.
New Surfaces: This product can be applied directly to primed steel and directly to all other noncombustible surfaces; ie. drywall, plasterboard, plaster and masonry surfaces. All combustible surfaces, such as wood, plywood, fiberboard, etc., must be coated with BURN BARRIER Intumescent Fire Retardant Paint, before application of No. 40-40A. New ferrous metal surfaces must be primed. Apply BURN BARRIER No. 3003 Acrylic Primer. Allow to dry 3-4 hours or until hard, before applying No. 40-40A.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Noncombustible surfaces having excessive conventional paint film build up. and all combustible surfaces, such as wood, plywood, fiberboard, etc.. must be coated with BURN BARRIER Intumescent Fire Retardant Paint, before application of No. 40-40A. No. 40-40A may be applied directly to existing paint that is tightly adherent and in good condition. All glossy surfaces should be dulled with sandpaper. Spot prime where necessary with appropriate primer before application of No. 40-40A.
- Recommended Uses
Interior: For use on all non-combustible surfaces (except floors and shelving) and as an overcoat for BURN BARRIER Intumescent Fire Retardant Paint, where a low-gloss highly cleansable coating is desired, Exterior: For use on masonry surfaces where a flame resistant coating is required.

- Application Procedure
Mix paint thoroughly by boxing or stirring. No. 40-40A can be applied by brush, roller, airless or conventional heavy-duty spray equipment. Apply using a full-bodied coat at the recommended coverage rates. To conform with — surface burning characteristics established for this paint, dilution of the paint should be compensated with reduced coverage rates. Do not apply when surface or air temperature is below 50°F (10°C). Protect from freezing
