FIRE RETARDANT COATING FOR TIMBER
DESCRIPTION
A water-based clear or white coating for internal/external application by brush, roller or spray.
Achieved Class 0/Class 1 protection with two applications at 12-15m² per litre. Coverage on
the first coat may vary according to the density and type of timber. UV protection is available.
USE
Can be used on bamboo, chipboard, decorative laminates, furniture, plywood, MDF, melamine,
timber, etc. ES/VFR can be applied first and then be coated over with paints or varnishes such
as Sikkens stains or existing coatings. A top coat must be applied over ES/VFR (either waterbased
or spirit-based). Where coating over existing gloss paint, use ES/VFR primer first.
PERFORMANCE
VFR coatings have had numerous tests on many surfaces and over coated surfaces to meet
BS476 Part 6 (1989) Spread of Flame and BS476 Part 7 (1989) Spread of Flame, and this
coating system now complies with Classification B/S1/d0 of European Standard
EN13501 Parts EN13823 (2002) single burn test (SBI) and EN11925-2 (2002) ignitability.
