FIREX-400  – fire retardant coating

TU   2316-004-40366225-98

1. FIELD OF APPLICATION AND PROPERTIES

Fire retardant coating “Firex-400” represents a compound based on non-organic bonding with additives and inert fillers. It creates porous heat-insulating layer at increase of temperature above 120 °С. Coating is used for protection of the primed load bearing metal constructions. 

Fire retardant coating “Firex-400” ecologically safe, non-toxic, fire- and explosion proof.

2. NORMATIVE AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Fire retardant composition "Firex-400" meets the requirements for III group of fire-proof efficiency stated in NPB 236-97 "Fire-proof materials for steel constructions. General requirements. Method of determination of fire-proof efficiency".

Certificate of fire safety № SSPB.RU.OP002.V.01361

Hygiene certificate № 50.99.04.231.P.004666.04.07

3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

4. SURFACE TREATMENT

Coating should be applied on the non-primed load bearing metal constructions (columns, beams etc). Dust and dirt should be removed from the surface by means of wet rags, grease and oil stains can be removed with solvent (solvent № 646 is recommended). If application of solvent is not possible use the washing agents.

5. APPLICATION OF COMPOSITION

Application conditions:

Ambient temperature - not less than +5 °С;

Relative air humidity - not more than 85 %;

Temperature of surface for application of paint should be 3° above condensation point.

Application modes:

Application is performed mechanically by means of plastering machines (SO-154, SO-169) or manually by spatula.

Composition should be applied layer-by-layer. Apply 3-4 kg/m2 in one pass. Next layers are applied with interlayer curing within 6-8 hours. Number of layers is calculated according to the required fire rating.   

Final drying time of coating - 4-5 days from the moment of application of last layer.

Cleaning of tools:

Wash the tools with water immediately after end of work.

6. OPERATING CONDITIONS AND LIFITIME OF COATING

Operation of coating in the enclosed premises without direct ingress of moisture.

Lifetime of coating not less than 15 years.

7. PACKAGING AND STORING

Fire retardant composition "Firex-400" is supplied in packaging of 40 kg.

Shelf life of fire retardant paint in the packaging of manufacturer - 4 months in dry place at temperature above +50С.
