BURN BARRIER™ NO. 10-10
BURN BARRIER™ – 10-10 is a solvent-based intumescent fire retardant paint and is manufactured in accordance with Federal Specification TT-P-26C. It is designed for use on interior surfaces. The coating dries quickly to a velvety flat finish, having the appearance of conventional paint. Upon exposure to fire, BURN BARRIER™ – 10-10 puffs up (intumesces), forming a dense cellular foam layer. This foam layer greatly reduces the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials and retards the penetration of heat to metal surfaces.

- Recommended Uses
For application to all interior combustible surfaces where it is either necessary or desirous to reduce the surface burning characteristics of combustible materials, also, on metal surfaces to retard the penetration of heat.
- Application Methods
- Brush
- Roller
- Spray

- TSCA (USA)
- Application Procedure
Mix paint thoroughly by boxing or stirring. No. 10-10 can be applied by brush, roller, airless or conventional heavy-duty spray equipment. Apply using a full bodied coat at the recommended coverage rates. To conform with — surface burning characteristics established for this paint, dilution of the paint should be compensated with reduced coverage rates. Do not apply when surface or air temperature is below 50°F (10°C).
