Fire Retardant Wood Coating

This version of Firetect's Fire Retardant is a non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, Class A, interior, latex-based intumescent coating for application over wood and other decorative surfaces.
Intumescent coatings will insulate the surface from the heat for a short period of time by swelling up and expanding when exposed to flame, producing a heat resistant charred surface.
Fire retardant wood coating has the appearance and consistency of paint and is available in white, black and color-base for mixing of custom colors.
For business purposes, if you wish Certification for the State of California it requires that a California State Certified Applicator be the one to do the actual application of the product so that the job complies with requirements of the California State Fire Marshal.
