Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint: Field Applied Class A Flame Spread Protection

Barrier Technology products have been protecting people and property from fire for more than 20 years. A relatively recent addition to our product line is Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint, a proprietary intumescent paint that can be applied in the field. Intumescent paints are those that swell and char when exposed to flame, forming an insulative barrier between a fire and its fuel (often but not always wood).

Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint provides combustible construction materials a 10-minute, Class A Flame Spread Rating as required by ASTM E-84. Our formulation contains no volatile organic components (VOCs), is low odor and non-hazardous to apply and use. The paint can be applied in the field by following the directions in our Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint Application Guide.

Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint's intended use is for interior applications where a Class A Flame Spread Rating is required by building code. It has excellent adhesion to wood, OSB, drywall, and concrete. The dried paint features enough elasticity so that it won't chip/crack/flake or blister. Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint can be over-coated with commercial latex paints.

Coverage Rate: 120 square feet/gallon
Flame Spread Index: 5
Smoke Developed Index: 150
Color: White
Quantity Available: 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums

Blazeguard Fire-Retardant Paint is an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Classified Product.

Government Barracks Project in Georgia - "Peachy"

Barrier is pleased to report the use of the Mule Hide FR Deck Panel in another government barracks project in Georgia. This project is in the final stages of completion and the feedback has been very positive from the commercial modular manufacturer.

Thanks to the ease of use, elimination of an entire installation step, and the labor/materials cost savings; the manufacturer has committed to bid future projects with our panel. In addition, with their ability to accept rail car shipments, freight costs are able to be minimized at time when every penny counts.
