Fire
Retards
Suitable for:
- Softwoods, hardwoods, MDF, chipboard, melamine-faced sheet
- Interior and exterior: fire retardant products, architectural steels, doors, decking, bar-tops, panelling, cladding and floors
- Painted surfaces, varnished, stained and unpainted surfaces

When a fire breaks out, every passing minute that the spread of the flames is delayed, has the potential to save someone’s life. Designed with this in mind, fire retardant paints are used to slow down or prevent the spread of flames on a surface and reduce the overall intensity of fires. To assess their effectiveness, they’re constantly tested in accordance with BS 476, Part 7.
Class 0
Is used for areas where the risk of fire must be limited in high-risk areas such as escape routes. Class 0 paints are tested to ensure they do not add to the heat or intensity of the fire.
Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent Coatings are highly effective in preventing the penetration of fire through a structure for a specific period, in accordance with BS 476 Parts 20 – 23 1987. Designed to serve as a base coat, these paints work by insulating the building material from the heat by swelling and charring when exposed to fire.
