BURN BARRIER™ NO. 20-20
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.

- 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
- Application Procedure
Mix paint thoroughly by boxing or stirring. No. 20-20 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). Protect from freezing
