QUICK REFERENCE FOR APPLYING FIRE POLY 50

MATERIAL	APPLICATION	COVERAGE
Interior Plywood any type	Treat before, during or after construction. Be sure surface is clean and dry before treating. Apply with sprayer head held at 8 to 12 inches from surface. Apply with brush or roller. Treat all surface areas where possible Do not expose treated area to moisture for 24 hours.	Apply three (3) coats at 500 sq. ft. per coat with the final coverage rate of 166.3 sq. ft. per gallon

INTERIOR:

            All surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry. Fire Poly 50 is water-based, clear liquid that becomes insoluble when dry. Fire Poly 50 also acts as a preservative and water proofing agent. If over coating is intended, Fire Poly 50 is an excellent surface primer for use under latex paints or can be used as a finished coat over water based stains.

DO NOT DILUTE OR MIX FIRE POLY 50 WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS.

            Avoid wasteful runs and dripping. It should be noted that unlike some products, materials treated with Fire Poly 50 require no special cutting tools or special fasteners. Contact parts of any equipment should be stainless steel or plastic to prevent chemical reaction and breakdown. Storage may be done in polyethylene containers.

           Structures under construction can be made fire resistant. Use on sub-strates that are enclosed and/or in areas that are warm and dry. Fire Poly 50 creates a varnish like coating that provides long-term fire protection.

            Fire Poly 50 when applied according to the manufacturer’s specifications is the most effective fire retardant coating available.

CAUTION:

          Product must not freeze. It must not be thinned or diluted.

OVERSPRAY:

        The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water. A rag wetted with  bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.

CLEAN UP PROCEDURE:

          Airless Equipment.

1. Run clear water through the system until coating is flushed out. When minor sudsing on surface stops, the system is flushed.

2. Run bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts) through system as solvent for cleaning any residue.

            3. Repeat Step 1 if any foaming occurs in Step 2.

            4. Lubricate system as specified by equipment manufacturer to combat rusting.

 

If two or more applications are planned in the same day, the sprayer can be kept clean by running water through the system between applications.

SAFETY FIRST

Use approved safety devices (ropes, belts, ridge hooks, ladder, etc.) When working on steep or high areas. Take EXTREME CARE not to step on wet treated area. Surface may be slick until dry.

It is good practice to wear respirator or mask and protect hands with rubber gloves when spraying any coating or chemical. When engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for solvent vapors. A dusk mask does not provide protection against vapors.

If eye contact occurs, flood with water for fifteen (15) minutes and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
