PyroLogistix Fire Retardent and Barrier Products

We offer the finest line of fire retardant and fire barrier products on the market today.  Manufactured by PyroLogistix our products are safe, incredibly effective and environmentally friendly.  When properly applied, our line of products CAN and WILL prevent a fire from ever getting started.   Our line of safe and effective liquid fire retardants have many applications.  Our Class 'A' intumescent coatings are available in clear and pigmented formulations.

Our intumescent coatings provide thermal protection as well as flame resistance and may be used to protect substrates such as; Structural Steel and Polyurethane foam insulation. Intumescent paint on wood has the flame proofing power of a brick wall!

Read about how the products work.  Learn how you can make your home or business safer.  If you have received a 'Compliance Order' from your Fire Inspector or Fire Safety Officer you are at the right place.  Manufacturers make PyroLogistix technology a value added component of your products.

Call it fireproofing, flame retardant, fire stopping, fire resistant or non-combustible but if it doesn't say PyroLogistix on the label you should be calling us.

 How the Products Work.

Fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition are the three components necessary for fire. PyroLogistix products produce outstanding results by eliminating TWO of these three components.

PyroLogistix products automatically react with fire or heat to convert combustible gases and tars to non-combustible carbon char, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. This chemical reaction causes the formation of a cleverly reinforced, dense "foam" layer or carbon char. This "foam" layer then acts as an insulating barrier separating the substrate from the flames. The nitrogen and carbon dioxide by-products from this reaction displace available oxygen right at the fuel source thereby further suppressing the fire. Incredible thermal protection is accomplished by building several stages into the reaction so that as temperature levels increase more protection is automatically provided. Simultaneously water vapour is created and released so that it actually cools the substrate. These factors combine to extend the level and duration of protection. Don't be fooled by competitor's extremely high intumescent char heights, they look good in a demonstration but are as fragile as a crystal goblet. The char has to be dense and strong to remain intact in the turbulence of a real fire.

 Fire Barrier Intumescent Paint - Product Information

Description:

Heavy bodied, single part latex designed for use on structural steel, construction materials, framing lumber, trusses, drywall, doors and more. May also be used for conduit, decking and cladding.

Method:

When activated by heat or flame a dense carbon char is formed that separates and insulates the substrate from heat while off gassing displaces oxygen from the treated surface. Thus eliminating two of the three components needed for combustion.

Features:

 Product Characteristics

Colourless:

Will not stain or discolour wood. Retains original colour and quantities to allow flexibility of natural decorative finish.

Odourless:

Allows use indoors. Does not require extensive ventilation. Suitable for application in existing, occupied areas as opposed to pre-treating.

Safe:

Can be used in inhabited and food preparation areas. No restriction on use around people, plants or animals.

Water Borne Chemicals:

Leaves no oil or petroleum based residue. Not dependent on petroleum products with a volatile supply and price. Is also compatible with variety of materials and surfaces.

Contains no Asbestos or Halogens:

Eliminates dependency on potentially banned products. Provides safety for installers and users.

No Special Cutting Tools Required:

Treated wood can be sawed, shaped and planed without special carbide tipped blades. There is less expense involved in milling operations due to longer life of cutting blades. Field cutting is easier and less expensive.

Will not change protected materials:

Wood is not crystallized, made inflexible or weakened. Treated wood retains all strength and characteristics. No special allowances for weight, strength or support need be made.

Will not support Fungi Growth:

Inherently resistant to most forms of micro organisms.
