OVERVIEW
FireGuard® E-84
is a superior intumescent
fire retardant coating that creates a thin film fire
retardant and fire resistant barrier on a wide range of
interior building surfaces. In the event of a fire, this
product can prevent the spread of flames and reduce
smoke levels to aid in the protection of life and
property.
The stock
color of the coating is off-white, however custom
tinting can be made available subject to special order
conditions.
How & Why
FIREGUARD® E-84 INTUMESCENT PAINT WORKS
When
FireGuard® E-84
Intumescent
Paint is exposed to heat generated by flames; it swells
to form an insulating char barrier that fire cannot
penetrate. Without a source of fuel, the fire is unable
to spread. In addition to protecting from flame, this
char barrier functions as an insulating blanket to help
protect the underlying substrate from the intense heat
of a fire, postponing (or preventing) ignition for up to
two hours in some cases (ASTM E-119). Beyond preventing
the spread of flames (Flame Spread Index = 5), with a
Smoke Development Index = 5,
FireGuard® E-84
can reduce the production
of smoke (a leading cause of fire related fatalities).
Along
with its life safety benefits,
FireGuard® E-84
can protect the underlying substrate and significantly
reduce fire restoration costs. In many cases the
substrate will still be sound, allowing the charred foam
to be simply scraped off, surfaces to be cleaned and/or
repaired, and subsequently repainted.
Applications
FireGuard® E-84
can be applied in homes, multifamily residential,
commercial, industrial, and institutional structures,
either in the new construction phase, or during
reconstruction projects. This thin film coating is
effective on wood and wood composites such as oriented
strand board, fiberglass, gypsum board, masonry,
concrete, structural steel beams, steel pipe, and
numerous other surfaces. FireGuard® E-84 is a non-toxic,
water-based formulation that has been approved for use
on specific interior surfaces only.
While the use of
an airless sprayer is strongly recommended, FireGuard®
E-84 may also be applied by brush or roller. If a
certification of application is needed or required by
governmental or regulatory agencies, or other parties,
an ICC certified professional (or an outside independent
testing agency with comparable certification that has
been approved by the regulatory agency) MUST be
contracted to verify that FireGuard® E-84 has been
applied in a uniform manner with a proper thickness.
