Material
Interior wood, any type.
Application
- Treat before, during or after construction.
- Be sure the surface is clean and dry before treating.
- Apply with sprayer head held at 8 to 12 inches from surface.
- 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 three (3) coats at 360-450 sq.ft. per gallon with the final coverage rate of 120 to 150 sq.ft. per gallon.
- Interior Wood
All surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry. Fire Poly 50 fire retardant coating is water-based, clear liquid that becomes insoluble when dry. Fire Poly 50 also acts mold and mildew protector and repels insects. If over coating is intended, Fire Poly 50 fire retardant coating is an excellent surface primer for use under latex paints or can be use as a finished coat overwater based stains.
Avoid wasteful runs and dripping. It should be noted that unlike some products, materials treated with Fire Poly 50 fire retardant coating require no special cutting tools or special fasteners. Contact parts of any equipment should be stainless steel or plastic to prevent chemical reaction and breakdown.
Structures can be made fire resistant. Use on substrates athat are enclosed and/or in areas that are warm and dry. Fire Poly FP 50 fire retardant coating creates a varnish like coating that provides a long term fire retardant protection.
- 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).
