FIRE COATING MIXING AND APPLICATION

1.  ALL SURFACES SHOULD BE
     A.)  CLEARED OF SURROUNDING  BRUSH AND MATERIALS
     B.)   CLEAN AS POSSIBLE AND DRY  TO PROMOTE ADHESION
2.  STIR WELL BEFORE USE.
3.  APPLY  FX-WF^™ COATING   OVER ALL  SURFACES WITH  A  BRUSH,   ROLLER,  OR  PAINT TYPE SPRAYER
4.  IF SPRAYING WITH AN AIRLESS SPRAYER IT IS BEST TO USE A #13 TO #15  NOZZLE.
5.  IF PRODUCT IS TO THICK TO SPRAY, IT MAY BE HEATED TO A MAXIMUM OF A  100 DEGREES F.
6.  EVEN SPRAY APPLICATION TECHNIQUE IS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE  A CONSISTENT PROTECTIVE AREA.
7.  SEVERAL PASSES ARE RECOMMENDED.

* WE RECOMMEND COVERING ALL GLASS / WINDOWS  WITH PLYWOOD PRIOR TO COATING*

FOREST FIRE PROTECTIVE COATING:
 FX-WF^™  Wild Fire Flame Protective Coating  is a non-permanent version of the UL Listed FX-100ä  Fire Protective Coating product.

FX-WF^™ Wild Fire Coating is available for application on structures in the path of a wild fire. 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 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.

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.
