- Features
Flame Safe Fire Poly™ high intumescent fire retardant coating swells as a result of heat exposure or flame, converting combustible gasses and tars to non-combustible carbon char causing the surface to bubble-up and thereby creating a thermal barrier between the fire and the treated material. The carbon char is a poor conductor of heat, protecting the substrate from being consumed by the fire.
- Features
- Good preservative for food.
- Excellent anti fungal resistance
- Good bacterial resistance
- Mildly corrosive
- No Flash - Fire retarding coating (Closed cup)
- Excellent insects, rodents, aspergilli and other types of molds resistant
- Excellent termite resistance
- Non-volatile

- Quick Reference for Applying FIRE POLY® FP100
Material
Exterior/Interior wood is any type of wood.
Application
- Treat before, during or after construction.
- Be sure the surface is clean and dry before treating.
- Apply with a brush or roller.
- May be necessary to wipe on hardwood surfaces
- Treat all surface areas where possible
- Do not expose the treated area to moisture for 24 hours.
Coverage
Apply one (1) coat at the rate of 200 sq. ft. per gallon.
- Exterior/Interior Wood
All surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry. Fire Poly™ FP100 fire retardant coating is water-based, clear liquid that becomes insoluble when dry. On exterior wood Fire Poly™ FP100 can last five years or more, while maintaining a flame spread index of less than 25. In extreme weather conditions it may be necessary to re-coat surfaces every three to five years. It also acts as a preservative, waterproofing agent, ultra violet inhibitor, mold and mildew inhibitor, and it repels insects. If over coating is intended, Fire Poly™ FP100 fire retardant coating is an excellent surface primer for use under latex paints, or can be used as a finished coat over water based stains. Finished surfaces will exhibit semi-gloss to gloss finish similar to lacquers or epoxies.
- Overspray
The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water. A rag wetted with bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.
- Cleanup Procedure
Airless Equipment
- Run clear water through the system until coating is flushed out. When minor sudsing on the surface stops, the system is flushed.
- Run bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts) through the system as a solvent for cleaning any residue.
- Repeat Step 1 if any foaming occurs in Step 2.
- Lubricate system as specified by the equipment manufacturer to combat rusting.
- If two or more applications are planned on the same day, the sprayer can be kept clean by running water through the system between applications.
Brushes/Rollers
- Clean immediately after use.
- Wash thoroughly with bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts).
- Solvent
Water (Contains no Petroleum or Derivatives of Petroleum)
