NFC

Coating which permits to retard fire

NFC is a premium quality water based, nontoxic, thin film intumescent fire retardant, fire resistant product formulated to provide a fire retardant, resistant barrier on a variety of interior substrates, including gypsum board, oriented strand board and other wood products, composite architectural panels, class A polyurethane style foam, masonry, concrete, thin gauge metals, fiberglass, as well as many other substrates.

It is suitable for residential, multifamily, commercial and industrial projects, for both new and reconstruction projects. Color: Standard off-white, but may be custom tinted.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Easy to use, easy to clean
  • Nontoxic, low odor, meets all VOC requirements
  • Tintable
  • Smooth architectural grade finish
  • Provides fire resistant barrier on a variety of substrates
  • Fully tested

Construction and renovation

  • Uniform density and thickness provide cost effective and rapid installation for new construction and renovation.
  • Long-term protection in historic buildings, hotels, apartments, loft conversions and parking.

Industrial

  • Proven for decades in challenging environments including offshores drilling platforms, docks and petrochemical plants.
  • It does not flake like conventional fire protection materials and stays intact above 1100 degrees C.

Infrastructure

  • Spray applied cementitious fire protection is specified by architects and favored by applicators to protect a building's structural steel from failure in case of fire.

Boats & Trucks

  • The industry sets very high requirements for safety on board a ship or platform so that it is essential to have the right insulation for live saving.
  • Fire protection systems and services for yachts, boats, super yachts cruise liners and trucks.

MAINTENANCE

NFC cannot be exposed to freezing temperatures. It is important to maintain storage temperatures above the freezing point.

NFC should be stored at recommended temperatures between 10 to 24°С. Expected shelf life is one (1) year from the date of purchase.

All surfaces to be coated must be clean, cured, firm, dry and free of dust, dirt, oil, wax, grease, mildew, loose flaking paint, efflorescence or any other contamination or condition that would adversely affect the performance of the coating.

Etch or prime (with a latex primer or fast dry oil base primer/sealer) glossy, glazed or dense surfaces. Always prime oil based finish coatings with an oil based fast dry primer/sealer. Fill holes and surface irregularities with a suitable patching compound to match surface profile.

Spot prime all patched areas with appropriate primer. Metal surfaces must be free of rust.

Do not apply if temperature is below 10°C. All surfaces to which NFC have been applied should be inspected by a third party special inspection agency, or an Numastec certified professional to verify that NFP#88 has been properly applied in the required dry thin film uniform thickness.

Do not thin or strain NFC. Apply at can consistency. Use of airless sprayer is recommended (use of a dedicated spray line is required).

But NFC may be applied by brush or roller. For brush application, a fully loaded brush should be used. A laying on technique will reduce the brush marking.

A short nap roller can be used but this may result in a slight textured finish.
