Description

Timbercoat Intumescent 30/60 Basecoat by Thermoguard is a specialized fire-retardant paint designed for achieving fire certification of 30 and 60 minutes on various wooden surfaces including wood, plywood, MDF, and wood derivative boards.


Features and benefits:

  • Available in pack sizes of 5 kg and 20 kg.
  • In the event of a fire it expands, forming a heat-resistant char to insulate the surface overcoated with Thermoguard Safewood or Anti-Microbial SFR Smoke and Flame Retardant.
  • Good adhesion.
  • Permanent protection.
  • Tintable to undercoat shades. 


Application:

  • All surfaces must be clean and dry. Remove all possible surface contaminates such as grease, smoke residues, silicates.
  • Brush and roller applied using woven fabric roller sleeves, synthetic bristle brushes or spray applied using a pressure pot and gun conventional unit with small compressor.
  • Abrade hard or smooth surfaces with wetted 120 grit wet-or dry abrasive or dust extracting abrader. Rinse off slurry while still damp. When dry, remove any loose or suspect material back to firm edge. 
  • Apply at rate stated on can to protect surfaces and enable project certification.
