- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Features
- Certified to ASTM E119/UL 263
- Decorative esthetic coating - provides a hard, durable, architectural finish.
- Well suited for residential and commercial applications
- Space saving- ideal for applications when additional layers of gypsum cannot be installed
- Compatible with most topcoats (though not required)
- Thin film coating - offers an economical solution to alternative fireproofing
- low VOC, LEED compliant
- Easy repair - If damaged, product can be patched easily
Finish: Smooth
Primer: Wood: Recommended but not required
Gypsum: Not required
“Some tape/mud/putty products will better receive intumescent paint if first primed.
Topcoat: For interior conditioned space, topcoating is not required but may be applied for esthetic purposes.
Product must be topcoated if there are environmental exposure requirements. Refer to FlameOFF® Coatings, Inc. technical support.
Intumescent coating must be applied to the required DFT and fully cured before topcoat is applied.
Thickness Per Coat: Recommended 20-35 Mils WFT
*Range: 15-45 Mils WFT. Maximum thickness per coat depends upon applicator experience, substrate, and job site conditions.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Substrates & Surface Preparation
General: All surfaces must be primed and must be clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, loose scale, dirt, dust or other materials that would impair the bonding of the intumescent coating to the substrate.

Lower temperatures will slow down the curing process, higher temperatures will speed up the curing process. Additional ventilation (add fanmay expedite curing process. For optimum curing, itis recommended to apply coats at 20-45 mils wet per coat. Material is ready to be topcoated when an average Shore D hardness of 70 is achieved. “*See Application Guide for full application details.
- Application Equipment Guidelines
General equipment guidelines are given below, and may need to be modified depending on individual jobsite conditions. See Applicatlon Gulde for full application detalls. Contact FlameOFF® Coatings with any questions.
Airless Spray: Use 1.0 gal. per minute electric airless (minimum) to provide an operating pressure of 3,000 p.s.i. (140 kg/cm2). ** Remove rock catcher from siphon tube.**
Spray Gun: Contractor Gun (with filter removed) or equivalent
Spray Tips: 0.021” - 0.025”
Fan Size: 4’-10” (depending on section being sprayed)
Hose Length: 50’ (15 m) maximum
Material Hose: 1/2” 1.D.
*™ Listed here are general equipment guidelines for the application of this product. Job site conditions may require modifications to these guidelines to achieve the desired results.**- Mixing & Thinning
Thinning: DO NOT THIN or alter in any way.
Mixer: Use 1/2” electric or air driven drill with a slotted paddle mixer (300 rpm under load)
Mixing: Product must be mixed using a 1/2” electric air driven drill with a slotted paddle or Jiffy mixer blade. Mix material for a minimum of 5 minutes to achieve the necessary texture required before spraying.- Application Procedures
General: Product may be applied by brush or spray application. Do not apply with a roller. Spray application is recommended for the optimum appearance.
Airless Spray: A single coat built up with a number of quick passes allows greater control over quantities, thickness and finish.
**Note - In most conditions, it is advantageous to apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.**
Application Rates:
Spray: 20-45 Mils Wet Film Thickness
Brush: 10 Mils Wet Film Thickness
Wet Film Thickness: Frequent thickness measurements with a wet film gage are recommended during the application process to ensure uniform thickness.

Safety & Health
- Cleanup & Safety
Cleanup: Flush pump, gun, tips, hoses and mixer with hot water at least once per day.
Safety: Follow all safety precautions on the product Material Safety Data Sheet.
Overspray: All adjacent and finished surfaces shall be protected from damage and overspray.- Maintenance
General: If coating becomes damaged, rebuild the required thickness by spray or brush. When dry, smooth and finished, topcoat may be applied. The repair area must follow all surface preparation requirements before reapplying the coating. The coating must be built back to the original thickness.
