Coating systems
In places where you need to bring down the risk that a trigger of any kind would result in a fire, it is advisable to use
coating or furnishing materials that have a self-extinguishing behavior, that is to say that once the trigger is removed, the
combustion ceases.
The Italian, European and British standards place combustible materials in the Class 1 and Class B that, properly treated or formulated, allow a slowdown in the propagation of a fire or its extinction.
The Flameshield painting systems are different, depending on the legislation to which reference should be made. The Italian legislation, in fact, considers the application of two coats of primer and a coat of topcoat, while the European and British regulations considers the application of one coat of sealer and one coat of topcoat. Both clear and pigmented systems can be applied.
In all cases it is necessary to scrupulously follow the application method and the drying times, which are indicated in the TDS of the products involved.
