YES!  Unlike other fire retardant paints, the Flame Guard Liquid is an additive that allows you to tint to any color in the specturm.

FLAME GUARD LIQUID works by suffocating the substrate from the flame — therefore, if there is no oxygen for the flame, there is no fire. LIQUID IS NOT INTUMESCENT, meaning it is not a foam.  

Flame Guard Liquid slows the flame spread making the paint film flame retardant.  

Flame Guard Liquid is designed to “slow” flame spread of the treated coating.   Once applied, it makes the paint film fire retardant.     

TESTING INFORMATION:  Flame Guard Liquid has been tested in accordance with ASTM E-84 Standard Method of Testing for Surface Burning Characteristic of Building Materials.   Test Results: ASTM E84: Southern yellow pine and cement gypsum: Flame Spread = 0 Smoke = 85 over cement gypsum; Flame = 85  Smoke = 175 over southern yellow pine.   ULC S102: Zero Flame Spread = 0 Smoke = 0.

Flame Guard Liquid meets the Both UL 723 and UBC 42-1 starndards for testing.

WHERE TO USE:  Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, amusement parks, private dwellings, office buildings, day care facilities, or wherever you wish to have added extra  protection and codes are specified.

We constantly test the Liquid Flame Guard on different substrates based on our customers' needs, from gypsum to plywood to OSB and other substrates. Our goal is to provide products our customers need.  And give people TIME to get out and grab their family, precious items, and pets. 

The ASTM E-84 test method is a 10-minute fire test response standard intended to provide comparative measurements of the surface burning behavior of building materials to exposed surfaces.  It tests for flame spread and smoke density measurements of select substrates under specific fire exposure conditions.  

The purpose of ASTM E-84 is to determine the relative burning behavior of the material by observing the flame spread along the specimen.

ASTM E84 testing produces two index values, the Flame Spread Index (FSI) and the Smoke Developed Index (SDI), used by code officials, fire marshalls, designer companies, and architects to determine whether a product is suitable for its intended application.

Class A:  FSI = 0—25        SDI = 0—450

Class B: FSI =   26—75     SDI=  0—450

Class C: FSI =  76—200    SDI = 0—450

From our testing company, Intertek:

"Some companies will test exterior materials because the building code for the specific end use will require the test.  The Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) decide what test is acceptable based on the building code requirements or the specific end use of the product.  Outdoor wood decks are required to be tested to the ASTM E84 in some U.S. States.  The ASTM E84 is widely known as an indoor materials test with very little use for outdoor materials.  The whole reason for testing is to comply with the building code.  The NFPA 285 is considered the required exterior wall test.   As far as using it on the exterior - yes, but it would be their responsibility to test their final product."  Intertek
