BAL-40 Protection with FIRECOAT Exterior in just 2 coats

FIRECOAT EXTERIOR is a game-changing solution to help combat the devastating impact of bushfires, structural fires and urban conflagration. It is an exterior water-based fire-retardant paint for fire protection of a variety of substrates. When exposed to flame or radiant heat, FIRECOAT EXTERIOR forms an outer char layer, protecting the underlying surface and putting a stop to the spread of the flames.

Coating Thickness & Coverage

To achieve the desired fire protection, the minimum dry film thickness (DFT) must be achieved upon complete drying. It is difficult to determine the DFT during application, but it can be estimated at wet state using a wet film thickness (WFT) gauge. 

Each coat should achieve a coverage of 1.43 Square Metres Per Litre.

• FIRECOAT Exterior can be used on a variety of surfaces such as natural and composite timber, bricks, concrete, plasterboard, masonry and structural steel. It can be applied on top of existing paint if the surface is clean, dry and not flaking.
• Prior to application, all surfaces should be cleaned, dry, and free from dust, oil, wax, grease, dirt, resin, and any loose or flaking paint. Existing coatings with poor adhesion must be completely removed.

If you are looking to get your property certified to BAL-40 level using FIRECOAT Exterior we would suggest consulting with a qualified building surveyor or fire engineer. They can ensure that our product meets the specific requirements of your application and complies with local regulations.
