Applications & Uses
- Recommended Uses
For application to all interior combustible surfaces where it is either necessary or desirous to reduce the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials, also, on metal surfaces to retard the penetration of heat. It is not recommended for a hourly rating on structural steel beams and columns.
- Used By
Schools, Colleges, Nursing Homes, Child Care Centers, Hospitals, Penal Institutions, Apartments, Hotels, Factories, Warehouses, Retail Stores, Restaurants, Utilities, Railroad and other Transportation Companies, Oil and Chemical Installations, Military Installations, and other facilities where Class "A" fire retardant coatings are required.
Use Untopcoated or Topcoated
Topcoating is not necessary for most applications, however, on surfaces requiring maximum washability and cleansibility, No. 10-10A should be topcoated with Flame Control No. 40-40A Low-Gloss Latex Fire Resistant Coating.
- 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. All metal surfaces must be primed.
New Surfaces
New wood, fiberboard and other surfaces having uneven or excessive porosity should be sealed with Flame Control No. 3003 Acrylic Primer and allowed to dry a minimum of 3 - 4 hours before applying No. 10-10A. On new drywall and other non-combustible surfaces, use only Flame Control 40-40A. New ferrous metal surfaces must be primed. Apply Flame Control No. 3004A Universal Metal Primer. Allow to dry 45 miniutes or until hard, before applying No. 10-10A.
Previously Painted Surfaces
No. 10-10A 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 as shown above, before application of No. 10-10A.
- Application
Mix paint thoroughly by boxing or stirring. No. 10-10A 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).

Tinting : Can be tinted up to 2 fl. oz. with Chroma Chem #866 or Uni-Cal 66 colorant. Check colorant for compatibility, using about 2 fl. oz. of No. 10-10A and 4-6 drops of colorant. Mix well, and check for gelling, precipitation, or other adverse reaction. Allow sample to sit overnight, before proceeding.

(*) The fire test was conducted for a total time period of 60 minutes. There was no evidence of significant progressive combustion at the 60 minute period. Therefore, this product meets the flame test requirement as defined in NFPA 703 and the criteria specified in Section 1702-4.1 of the 1990 BOCA National Building Code. A complete 60 minute fire test is available upon request.

Safety & Health
- Precautions
The liquid coating contains volatile (combustible) solvents. Due care must be exercised during and after application. Adequate ventilation must be provided during and after application until the coating is dry. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Do not smoke - extinguish all flames, pilot lights and heaters - turn off stoves, electric tools, and appliances, and any other source of ignition. Avoid contact with skin and breathing of vapor or spray mist. Close container after use. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
