NO. 10-10 FLAT INTUMESCENT FIRE RETARDANT PAINT
FIRE PROTECTION RATINGS:
ASTM E-84 (NFPA 255) Class “A”; also up to 60 minutes (1 hour) per NFPA 703 & BOCA 1702-4.1.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
No. 10-10 fire retardant paint is manufactured in accordance with Federal Specification TT-P-26C. It is designed for use on interior surfaces. The coating dries quickly to a velvety flat finish, having the appearance of a conventional paint. Upon exposure to fire, No. 10-10 puffs up (intumesces), forming a dense cellular foam layer. This foam layer greatly reduces the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials, and retards the penetration of heat to metal surfaces. In addition to the standard ASTM E-84 (UL 723, UBC 42-1, NFPA 255, CAN/ULC-S102) fire test, this coating has also been fire tested for periods up to 60 minutes (1 hour). [Ref. Fire test section for details].
SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surface preparation should be carried out according to good painting practices. All dirt, grease, oil, wax, and other foreign matter MUST be removed.
NEW SURFACES:
New wood, fiberboard, and other surfaces having uneven or excessive porosity should be sealed with No. 3001 Alkyd Primer, and allowed to dry a minimum of 16 hours before applying No. 10-10. New drywall, plaster, and masonry surfaces should be internally dry and cured. Prime with No. 3003 Acrylic Primer, and allow to dry overnight before applying No. 10-10. New metal surfaces must be primed. Apply No. 3004 Universal Primer or No. 3005 Two Component Epoxy Primer. Allow to dry 16 hours or until hard, before applying No. 10-10.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
No. 10-10 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 primers as shown above, before application of No. 10-10.
APPLICATION:
No. 10-10 is ready to use. It can be applied by brush, roller, airless or conventional heavy duty spray equipment. Stir thoroughly and apply, using a full bodied coat. If thinning is required, use only Mineral Spirits. Do not apply in temperatures below 50° F (10°C).
SUGGESTED COVERAGE RATE:
190 to 250 sq.ft./U.S. gallon [4.7 to 6.1 m2/L] in one or two coats. See fire hazard classification for specific coverage rates.
DRYING TIME:
Dries to touch in approximately 4 hours. Allow at least 24 hours drying time before overcoating.
THINNERS:
For thinning and cleaning equipment, use Mineral Spirits.
TINTING:
Available in white, off white, and pastel shades, or may be field tinted with oil tinting colorants. Tinting colorants should not exceed 2 fluid ounces per gallon.
PACKAGING:
Standard packaging, 1 gallon, 5 gallon, and 55 gallon containers.
PRECAUTIONS:
CAUTION! COMBUSTIBLE. The liquid coating contains PETROLEUM DISTILLATES. Due care must be exercised during and after application until the coating is dry. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Avoid contact with skin. Avoid breathing vapors or spray mist. Open windows and doors or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headaches or dizziness, increase fresh air or wear respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA TC 23C or equivalent) or leave the area. Do not take internally. Close container after each use. Use with adequate ventilation. NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational over-exposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. Consult the material safety data sheet for this product, prior to opening container. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

(*) 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 requirements 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 test report is available upon request.
