How it works: Thermoguard Safewalls Insulating Basecoat expands in a fire to create a resilient insulating barrier. Overcoatable with Thermoguard Safewalls Anti-Viral SFR.
Thermoguard Safewalls Anti-Viral Smoke and Flame Retardant emits a safe fire damping vapour in a fire to control flame spread and suppress smoke.
Thermoguard Safewalls SFR’s polyurethane hardened acrylic “cross-links” during the drying process to form a smoother, harder, more cleanable surface than typical wall paints and help eliminate the microscopic pockets that host bacteria which prevent effective cleaning. A unique concentrated mix of safe, biocidal metal encapsulated nano-particles attacks viruses and bacteria that settle on surfaces, damaging their protective “envelope” to kill their live cores and disable their spikes penetration of lung’s cells.
This product forms part of a system for protecting wood and wood-based boards.
