ANDEK FIREGARD

Description

24 Standard Colors. Custom Colors are available.

 

Andek Firegard is a durable, waterproof, fire-retardant coating that forms both an ignition barrier and a thermal barrier. When exposed to fire, Andek Firegard expands to many times its original thickness. This generates a thermal insulating layer that protects the substrate from auto-ignition. Flame spread, smoke production and structural damage is greatly minimized.

In addition to its exceptional fire retardant properties, Firegard is an extremely durable coating that waterproofs the coated surface. It withstands exposure to harsh outdoor weather and may be repeatedly washed without damage.

Recommended for

Can be used over wood, wood composites, cellulosics, insulation materials, polyurethane foam, concrete, stucco, mineral composites, EIFS, bricks/masonry and other surfaces both on the interior and exterior of buildings.

Coverage

Normal application for most surfaces will require 1 gallon per 100 square feet (16 wet mils = 10 dry mils). Where additional protection is necessary, two coats at 120 square feet per gallon per coat will provide an overall coverage of 60 square feet per gallon (27 wet mils = 17 dry mils).
