A COST EFFECTIVE ANSWER
TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Inherently non-combustible surfaces such as plaster- board and brick
can become a potential fire hazard due to repeated redecoration with
conventional paints.
Different paint types from a variety of manufacturers have generally
been 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 flame retardant paint.
DESCRIPTION AND USE
Thermoguard Wallcoat is an
intumescent undercoat for application to previously painted plaster,
Artex, board, brick and concrete walls and ceilings. Overcoated with
Thermoguard flame retardant paint it insulates old paint films from
fire, controlling the spread of flames along walls and ceilings.

INTUMESCENT AND
FLAME
RETARDANT FIRE PROTECTION
When exposed
to a fire Thermoguard flame retardant paint releases a flame extinguishing
gas which instantly protects the surface. Simultaneously heat activates
Thermoguard Wallcoat underneath causing it to expand and create a fire
protective barrier, insulating old paint films from heat and oxygen.
FINISH AND COLOUR RANGE
Full BS4800 + RAL colour range. Thermoguard Wallcoat
is tinted to match the finishing colour.
Thermoguard flame retardant paint is available in BS4800 + RAL colours,
in acrylic eggshell, acrylic matt, anti-graffiti and hygiene finishes.
Please refer to separate data sheet. A clear flame retardant anti-graffiti
glaze is also available.
