Scope for Use

xerofire® Colour fire retardant paint system provides an exceptional finish and is suitable for use with most solid timbers, veneers, MDF and composite boards, giving the architect, specifier and designer a wide range of substrate options.

xerofire® is suitable for use with substrates that meet the following parameters:

  1. Thickness of at least 12mm
  2. Density of at least 510kg/m3
  3. Rating of at least D-s2,d0

xerofire® Colour Fire Retardant System

  1. xerofire® White Primer - a white waterborne fire retardant primer for use under xerofire® Colour topcoat
  2. xerofire® Colour Topcoat - a pigmented acid-catalysed pigmented topcoat for use over xerofire® Prime, available in your choice of colour

xerofire® Colour Fire Retardant Primer

A two-pack waterborne white primer designed to retard the propagation and spread of fire to Fire Class B-s1,d0 and National Class 0. This primer has not been designed to be fully opaque.

During a fire, the fire retardant primer swells to form an insulating charcoal layer. This layer prevents oxygen and heat from reaching the substrate, preventing ignition:

  1. Heat initiates degradation of the coating at around 250°C
  2. The primer reacts to form char
  3. The char expands
  4. Expansion prevents heat from reaching substrate
  5. Char eventually solidifies

xerofire® Colour Topcoat

A two-pack acid-catalyst furniture grade pigmented topcoat rated to FIRA 6250 Severe Use. Designed to give an exceptional, furniture-grade finish over xerofire® White Primer. xerofire® Colour topcoat can be colour-matched to almost any paint sample or swatch choice.
