Additionally, we serve clients across continents, including the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, & the Middle East.

Our Fire Resistant Products

Firefree 88®

Tested to ASTM, NFPA, EN, FM, UBC, and SISIR standards, this water-based product is well-known for its fire resistant capabilities. FF88® has shown resilience against temperatures reaching 2000° F for a duration of two hours. This characteristic makes FF88® an effective choice for fire protection, aiding in (i) confining the fire to its initial room, (ii) minimizing smoke spread, and (iii) maintaining structural stability.

Firefree Class A

This coating product is very easy to use in residential and commercial properties. It possesses low VOCs & meets all ASTM E-84 requirements, including extended 30-minute tests. Firefree Class A, serving as a noncombustible paint for wood, is suitable for various combustible materials and assemblies, including oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, Douglas fir, wood joists & trusses, and associated lumber.

Firefree Exterior System

The Firefree Exterior System boosts property resistance to wildfires with its two parts: Firefree Class A (FfA) and Firefree Exterior Topcoat (FfE). FfA offers crucial fire retarda nt protection that meets the ASTM E 84 30-Minute Extended standards and needs a dry application of 20 mils. FfE, made from high-quality acrylic paint, enhances FfA's fire resistance by shielding it from the weather, moisture, and UV rays.

Firefree Wildfire System

Complying with CBC SFM 12-7A-3 conditions, this product is the only exterior coating meeting fire and weather standards for use in wildfire-prone areas. The Firefree Wildfire System conforms to ASTM D2898 method B for weatherization, a rigorous test involving prolonged exposure to water and harmful UV radiations. This certification ensures that the passive fire protection coating is ideal for exterior applications.

What Customers are Saying

"“It’s a water based paint & proven in a number of different kinds of fire tests to give it a immeasurable improvement in performance. This company has done things that no other intumescent paint company has done. We’ve used 30 lb. Wood cribs in these two buildings, that’s a very severe fire shortage. There’s no intumescent paint in this building on my right at all. An identical building on my left is painted with the intumescent paint.”"

Professor Brady Williamson University of California, Berkeley

"Firefree was very accommodating and helpful with understanding the Firefree 88® product uses. The Firefree 88® product is a great alternative and more cost effective than installing a 1-hour sheetrock assembly in many cases. Firefree 88® also allows you to save time on your schedule by applying the intumescent paint."

Jonathan Kirkish, LEED AP Qualogy Construction, Inc.

“I think that the implications for survivability of victims in fires & fire travel, preservation of the property, the implications of monetary fire loss nationwide is incredible. I’ve observed the fire burning for 20 minutes, felt the outside of the wall & it was absolutely cool to the touch. As an experienced fir fighter, that is totally astounding.”

FF88®, a highly effective fireproof coating, can be seamlessly applied using various methods, depending on the desired finish and coverage. Whether using an airless sprayer, roller, or brush, specific guidelines must be followed to ensure optimal application and performance.

Airless Sprayer Application: For applying FF88® with an airless sprayer, operating at a pressure range of 780 to 3300 psi is crucial. A spray tip ranging from .015 to .023 is ideal, with a heavy-duty fan width of 4 inches to 12 inches (10.16 cm to 30.48 cm) recommended. For this method, it is essential to maintain the paint consistency, and using a dedicated spray line is required for the best results. This method ensures a uniform and smooth coating, suitable for large-scale applications.

Roller Application: When using a roller, opt for a 1-1/4” (20-25mm) nap synthetic cover to achieve a heavy, even layer. Other rollers can be utilized depending on the texture and finish you desire. This method is particularly effective for covering large, flat surfaces and provides a consistent finish with ease.

Brush Application: For areas requiring more precise application, it is advisable to use a nylon or fully loaded brush. You can also use a laying-on technique to minimize brush marks, which is especially important for visible surfaces or detailed work.

FfA is sensitive to freezing temperatures and must be stored properly to ensure its effectiveness. To avoid compromising its quality, it should be maintained at temperatures ranging from 50ºF to 85ºF (10ºC to 29ºC). It is crucial to store the product in its original unopened containers and under the recommended storage conditions.

These are the guidelines one should need to follow:

• Wear safety glasses to prevent paint particles from entering your eyes.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and clothing. Use protective gloves, especially during prolonged exposure.
• While not mandatory, respiratory protection is advisable. Ensure good ventilation, or consider using a protective half mask to avoid inhaling paint dust and particles.
• Always wash thoroughly after handling the paint.
• Close the paint container tightly after each use and keep it out of the reach of children.

This warranty ensures that they remain free from cracking, peeling, or chipping for a decade, contingent upon proper application and maintenance as per our guidelines. Firefree commits to providing the necessary materials to repaint the affected area at no additional cost when any product exhibits defects under these conditions.

Additionally, this warranty does not extend to labor costs or any incidental or consequential damages. Claimants must notify us in writing within ten days of discovering any defect and must include proof of purchase, evidence of following application instructions, and documentation of the defect. The warranty may be rendered void if the product is mishandled, modified, mixed with other products, or used after two years from the date of purchase. Failure to adhere to proper storage, application, or inspection practices specified by Firefree will also invalidate the warranty.
