Albi Cote FRL-X

Albi Cote FRL-X is a water-based, co-polymer intumescent fireproofing coating, which provides excellent fire-retardant properties. Albi Cote FRL-X is odor-free and offers the advantages of easy application and cleanup. This durable fireretardant coating provides a serviceable, wash-resistant flat finish for a wide variety of interior applications. Designed for interior use, Albi Cote FRL-X is a quick drying special coating that reacts to flame or heat by expanding into a thick multicellular insulating blanket. This intumescent carbonaceous foam sharply limits the spread of flame and insulates the surface to which it is applied. It provides a decorative, washable and mar-resistant finish.
