Fire Retardant Wall Paint

Ritver offers several types of fire retardant and intumescent paints for different applications, including architectural, industrial, and wood finishes. Their products are designed to prevent the spread of flames and protect structural materials from heat.  Fire retardant paints for walls and ceilingsRitver's Blazebare series is a range of water-based emulsion paints for interior and exterior applications, particularly suited for walls and ceilings. How they work: These paints create a non-flaming surface that self-extinguishes when exposed to fire. This slows the spread of flames, providing more time for people to evacuate safely.Key products:Ritver Blazebare Fire Retardant Matt Emulsion: A general-purpose, water-based emulsion with fire-retardant properties.Ritver Blazebare Fire Retardant Matt Emulsion Anti-Bacterial: This version includes antibacterial properties using nano-silver technology, making it suitable for hospitals, clinics, and food processing plants. Intumescent paints for structural steelFor protecting structural steel from fire, Ritver offers intumescent paints that expand to form an insulating layer when exposed to high temperatures. How they work: The intumescent coating swells up dramatically when heated, creating a thick, char-like foam that insulates the steel and slows down its temperature increase. This helps maintain the steel's structural integrity for a longer period during a fire.Application: This single-component, solvent-based acrylic coating is applied to primed carbon steel. It can be top-coated with a water-based fire retardant paint for a decorative finish. Fire retardant finishes for woodRitver also manufactures specialized coatings to protect wood and wood derivatives. Fire Retardant Polyurethane: Part of their wood coatings line, this product is designed to provide fire protection for wooden surfaces.Acrylic Topcoat Clear Multicoat: This fire-rated, non-yellowing, two-component coating is suitable for applications where both aesthetic appearance and fire resistance are desired, such as on pale wood and veneers. Important considerationsFire resistance vs. fireproofing: It's crucial to understand that "fire retardant" and "intumescent" products are not the same as being "fireproof." They are designed to delay and slow the spread of fire, giving more time for evacuation, but they cannot completely stop a building from catching fire.Application: For any fire-retardant system to be successful, proper surface preparation is critical. Old paints and contaminants should be removed, and a compatible primer must be used.
