Flame Control
Class “A” Intumescent
Fire Retardant Systemt
This system should be used to meet
the most severe building or fire code
requirements.
No.
6 Clear Wood Sealer is
a crystal clear, hard wood sealer
developed primarily for use with Flame
Control fire retardant varnishes.
Coverage varies (300-450 sq. ft./gal),
but the surface must be thoroughly
sealed before applying Flame Control
No. 166 Varnish.
No.
166 Class “A” Intumescent
Fire Retardant Varnish
is a clear, satin finish fire retardant
varnish having a Class “A”
Underwriter’s Laboratories flame
spread rating. When exposed to flame
or high heat, the coating intumesces
(puffs up) to form a thick insulating
cellular foam layer. This foam layer
retards the penetration of heat, thereby
reducing the flame spread and smoke
developed (surface burning characteristics)
of combustible materials.
Flame Control No. 166 Intumescent
varnish is suitable for use on wall
and ceiling paneling, wood beams,
columns and other such surfaces where
a finish with maximum fire rating
is required, and the natural appearance
of the wood is to be maintained. We
do not recommend this product for
use on hard use areas such as floors,
doors and shelving as the coating
is somewhat softer than conventional
coatings. In areas where there could
be exposure to dampness, high humidity,
moisture or water the coating may
become milky. (On hard use surfaces,
or in areas subject to damp and humid
conditions, we suggest the use of
Flame Control No. 129 and No. 130
Class “B” Fire Retardant
Varnish system).
When applied to properly sealed surfaces,
No. 166 dries to a clear, velvety,
satin finish. On surfaces that will
be subjected to handling, or where
a low, semi or high gloss finish is
preferred, No. 166 must be overcoated
with Flame Control No. 167 ULC rated
fire retardant varnish overcoat which
will greatly improve the durability
and cleaning ease of the finished
surface.
No.
167 Class “A” Fire Retardant
Varnish Overcoat for
No. 166 has been tested and rated
by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(ULC) as an overcoat for No. 166 Intumescent
Varnish.No. 167 is available in three
distinctive sheens i.e. Low, Semi
and High Gloss. The application of
No. 167 as a topcoat greatly improves
the moisture resistance, durability
and cleansing ease of No. 166. We
recommend that No. 166 be top coated
with No. 167 on surfaces subject to
handling, or where a low, semi or
high gloss sheen is preferred.
