Interior Fire Retardant Paints
No. 10-10A: ULC Class “A”, flat, solvent based, intumescent fire retardant paint.
Flame Control No. 10-10A is a V.O.C. compliant Class “A”, interior, mineral spirit based, flat, alkyd type, fire retardant paint, manufactured in accordance on Federal Specification TT-P-26C. No. 10-10A dries quickly to a velvety flat finish, having the appearance of a conventional paint. On contact with flame or excessive heat, the coating decomposes and puffs up (intumesces) forming a thick, dense, spongy foam layer that checks flame spread and retards heat penetration.
RECOMMENDED USES: For application to all interior combustible surfaces where it is either necessary or desirous to reduce the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials, also, on metal surfaces to retard the penetration of heat. It is not recommended for an hourly rating on structural steel beams and columns.
USED BY: Schools, Colleges, Nursing Homes, Child Care Centers, Hospitals, Penal Institutions, Apartments, Hotels, Factories, Warehouses, Retail Stores, Restaurants, Utilities, Railroad and other Transportation Companies, Oil and Chemical Installations, Military Installations, and other facilities where Class “A” fire retardant coatings are required.
USE NON TOP COATED OR TOP COATED: Top coating is not necessary for most applications, however, on surfaces requiring maximum wash ability and clean ability, No. 10-10A should be top coated with Flame Control No. 30-30 Semi-Gloss Alkyd Fire Resistant Coating or No. 40-40A Low-Gloss Latex Fire Resistant Coating
