PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
1500° Series FRT Overcoat has been tested and rated by the Underwriters’ laboratories, as an overcoat for 1500° Series FRV Class “A” Fire Retardant “Intumescent” Varnish. 1500° Series FRT is available in three distinctive sheens, i.e. low, semi, or hi-gloss. The use of 1500° Series FRT, as a topcoat over 1500° Series FRV, greatly improves the durability, and cleansibility of 1500° Series FRV. We recommend that 1500° Series FRT be used over 1500° Series FRV, on all surfaces that will be subjected to washing, handling, or where a low, semi, or hi-gloss finish is desired.
