RECOMMENDED
USE: CLASS A - FX-WF™ Wild Fire
Retardant Coating our most powerful fire protection
coating. FX-WF™
Wild Fire Coating can
be used on many types of porous or non-porous materials. Application
may be accomplished by either brush, roller, or spray methods.
The
coverage rate should be 150-350 square feet per gallon, depending upon
the results desired. This product provides the highest level of
fire
protection due to the formation of an extremely thick insulating
barrier when exposed to fire. Therefore, FX-WF™ Wild Fire
Retardant Coating
can be used to create "fire barrier" or "firewall" systems. In fact,
once the FX-WF™
Wild Fire Retardant Coating is activated by the heat of
a fire, the coating can expand up to 100 times its dry film
thickness.
Some of the uses are: Wood (raw or painted), Steel, Aluminum, Plastic,
Foam Materials, etc.
FOREST FIRE
PROTECTIVE COATING: FX-WF™ Wild Fire Protective
Coating is
a non-permanent version of the FX-100®
Fire
Protective Coating . This is the
same
technology that is used in the Housewrap™
Fire Barrier Product (which is not yet available in full-scale
production), but is simpler to apply. The effectiveness of this
method
of protection is similar to Housewrap™
Fire Barrier Product because the coating
“swells
up” nearly 100 times in thickness when the heat of a fire approaches,
therefore
protecting and insulating the structure from the fire. The FX-WF™
Wild Fire Protective Coating will stick to almost any
construction
material, including glass. However, it is advised that glass be
covered
with plywood before spraying the structure for better protection.
FX-WF™ Wild Fire Coating
is simply spray-applied with an airless paint sprayer over the surface
of the entire structure or object to be protected. The spread
rate
is approximately 200 square feet per gallon. In an average home
of
approximately 1500 square feet (living area), there is usually about
4,000-5,000
square feet of surface area on the exterior (including the roof).
This means that 25 gallons of FX-WF™
Wild Fire Coating would probably be enough to completely coat
the
entire home. If there is time you can apply a second coat for even
greater
security.
FX-WF™
Wild Fire Coating
will dry to a “tacky” finish in a few hours, for full effect.
However,
in a severe situation, FX-WF™ Wild
Fire Coating can be coated in the path of an immediate threat,
and, though wet, will still provide similar protection due to the
drying
effect that occurs as the heat of the oncoming fire approaches.
FURTHER,
if there is little time, the “primary” exposures (the sides facing the
threat) can be quickly sprayed in a matter of minutes.
This product and these procedures will
significantly reduce the
temperatures
at the surface of a structure that is exposed to a wildfire, thereby
greatly
increasing the chances the structure will survive.
ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS: This
product complies with U.S. Federal Regulations concerning the
use
of lead in paint AND hydrocarbon emissions.
