Thermoguard Smoke & Flame Retardant Wallcoat
Thermoguard Smoke & Flame Retardant Wallcoat for Painted Walls and Ceilings
A cost-effective solution to a serious problem
Inherently non-combustible surfaces such as plasterboard and brick can become a potential fire hazard due to repeated redecoration with conventional paints. Different paint types from a variety of manufacturers are typically used over many years with less than thorough preparation. In a fire thick layers of old paint tend to delaminate rapidly, catching and spreading fire around a building. In extreme cases a lethal 'flash-over' fireball effect is created.
The resultant risk to life and property can be greatly reduced at minimum cost using a combination of Thermoguard Wallcoat, an insulating intumescent barrier coating and Thermoguard Smoke and Flame Retardant paint.
Description and use
Thermoguard Wallcoat is an intumescent undercoat for applying to previously painted plaster, Artex, board, brick and concrete walls and ceilings. When overcoated with Thermoguard Smoke and Flame Retardant paint it insulates old paint films from fire and controls the spread of flames along walls and ceilings.
