Flame Retardant Paint

Flame retardant or fire proof paints are formulated to release a flame extinguishing gas on contact with a fire. They assist in the control of fire hazards caused by combustible materials, such as wood and derivative construction materials.

Used as either a decorative finish over our specialist intumescent coatings or used on its own for a decorative topcoat where that is deemed to provide adequate fire protection.

Can be used to repaint surfaces currently maintained with flame retardant paints

Suitable for use direct to bare or sound previously painted non-combustible walls and ceilings.

Flame retardant paint is available in several finishes and BS4800, BS 381C and RAL colour ranges in 2.5 litre and 5 litre containers.
