Description

Flame-retardant Pyroshield Basecoat was developed as part of the certified and approved Pyroshield system for upgrading the reaction-to-fire surface classification of existing internal finishes.


Only one coat of Basecoat required when using the full Matt upgraded system (or two coats if using the Eggshell upgraded system).


The Pyroshield system is designed to upgrade multi-layered previously painted walls and ceilings to meet fire regulations and protect occupants by delaying the spread of flames.


Tested as part of a system over Class 4 boards at BS476 Part 6 & 7 gaining an overall Class 0 (upgrades Class 4 surfaces with a high build-up of historic paint) Water-based formulation minimizes preparation time, disruption and labour costs.


Features and benefits:

  • Flame retardant.
  • Upgrades BS476 Class 4 surfaces (when used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions).

  • Water-based.


Please note:

  • Pyroshield provides a substrate upgrade to meet BS 476 and not any EN standards.
  • All sales of Pyroshield must be to Professional appliers.
  • All sales must be linked to a valid Specification number.
