RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPLICATION

Spraying method
Brush, brayer, paint sprayer
Solvent(volume)
5-10% depending on spraying method
Type of solvent
Р-4, Р-4А
Airless spraying
220 PSI/0,017''
Compressed-air spraying
Atomizing pressure: 50 PSI
Recommended system
Before applying the fire retardant, the surface must be cleaned of dust and dirt, residues of previously applied paints, primers, and other compositions. The surface may be pretreated using glyptic enamels primers. In the case of applying a fire retardant to the surface of nonferrous metal necessary to treat the surface with primer for nonferrous metals
Specific properties
Fire-Retardant properties of the coating are based on its ability to swell at high temperatures and form a foamed material (coked cellular material) with high thermal insulation properties. Application of fire retardant is made in several layers up to a thickness that provides the required fire resistance time of metal structures
Storage life
Storage life of the product in closed container in warehouses is 18 months from the date of manufacture.

NOTE: The manufacturer guarantees the quality of the fire retardant subject to the conditions of transportation, storage and instructions for use
