Fire Retardant Paint

If your college requires lofts be painted with a Fire Retardant Coating,

we recommend the use of  "FLAME CONTROL 20-20"

which can be purchased from Sherwin-Williams Paint Stores. 

FLAME CONTROL 20-20

Product Specifications

A Class "A" interior water base, flat latex, fire retardant paint, manufactured in

accordance with Federal Specifications TT-P-001932.  This coating dries to a flat

matte finish, having the appearance of a conventional flat latex 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 wood reducing the penetration of heat, thus

retarding the flame spread and delaying structural failure.

This product is used by Schools, Colleges, Nursing Homes, Child Care Centers, Hospitals,

Apartments, Hotels and other facilities where fire retardant coatings are required.
