Burn Barrier Latex Paint 20-20

Burn Barrier #20-20A F.R. Flat, Water Base

BURN BARRIER™ 20-20 is a latex (water base) intumescent fire retardant paint, manufactured and tested in accordance with Federal Specification TT-P-001932. 

This product is designed for use on interior surfaces where it is either necessary or desirous to reduce the surface burning characteristics of the substrate. It dries quickly to a flat matte finish, having the appearance of a conventional flat paint. In the presence of heat or flame, the coating puffs up (intumesces) and forms a thick sponge like cellular foam layer, this foam layer insulates the substrate reducing the penetration of heat, thus retarding the flame spread and prolonging structural collapse.

Fire Tests:

Flame Spread Ratings: Class “A”. When tested in accordance with ASTM E-84 (NFPA 255) the coating obtained the following fire hazard classification.
