PRODUCT
INFORMATION
1500
Series™ Firefree88® is a premium intumescent fire resistant coating tested to
comply with fire ratings performance prescribed under the International Building
Code (IBC). These standards involve (i) fire resistant testing which measures a
product's ability to prevent fire penetration over a period of time, such as
ASTM E 119, FM 4975, ASTM E 662-97, ASTM E 3675-98, ASTM E 162-98, ASTM E
1354-94, ASTM E 814, BS 476, AS 1530.3 AS 1530.4. EN 13501-1, and (ii) fire
retardant testing such as ASTM E 84 and Room Corner Test standards including
UBC 8-2, NFPA 286, UBC 26-3, measuring a product's
ability to limit flashover. It is listed and labeled by FM Approvals, a division
of FM Global, and classified by Underwriters Laboratories (U/L), listed by CA
SFM Building Materials and accepted by NY Material and Equipment Acceptance
Division.
RECOMMENDED
USES
Use
on properly prepared uncoated, primed or previously painted surfaces. 1500
Series™ Firefree88® can be applied to
numerous materials, including wood, gypsum board(sheetrock, plasterboard),
lathe and plaster, concrete, masonry, embossed/pressed metal tin spray
polyurethane foam (SPF) and other composite materials for 1 and 2 hour ratings.
As a result of its' superior fire resistant performance, it can provide
significant material and labor cost reductions, resulting in significant
savings when compared to other construction options in situations such as
construction, both new, retrofit and defective, (residential, commercial,
industrial and government), insulation and transportation. Recommended for
historic properties, schools, health care (hospitals, assisted living),
apartments, condominium, high-rises, hotels, stores, restaurants, oil and solar
facilities, government facilities, military applications and facilities,
transportation (aerospace, aviation, light rail, maritime, energy). 1500
Series™ Firefree88® is a water-based paint designed for interior use (please contact
us for exterior applications). It comes in a white, flat, smooth architectural
finish and can be tinted. Alternatively it can be top coated with most paints
to achieve the desired color, texture and finish.
