FireGuard E-84 intumescent coating is less expensive than other construction solutions (as low as $0.75 per square foot) and the spray application allows for projects to be completed in less time. It creates a fire-retardant and fire-resistant barrier for a wide range of construction and decorative materials.

FireGuard E-84 is easily applied to sheetrock, oriented strand board (OSB), sheet metal, PVC, steel, and interior and exterior woods. It has been tested and listed by Guardian Fire Testing Laboratories, Inc and is certified for achieving duration and flame spread ratings on various assemblies and substrates.

Water-based and nontoxic, this intumescent coating is applied just like standard paints. FireGuard E-84 can be applied by rolling, brushing, or spraying. As little as two coats can create a fire-rated wall for your structure.

When exposed to fire, FireGuard E-84 expands by a factor of 50 to 70 times its original thickness. This generates an ash-like char layer that provides thermal insulation to the material beneath the intumescent coating. The char layer is considerably more effective than traditional insulating and fireproofing materials in minimizing the exposure of the underlying substrate to temperatures that would allow for further combustion.

As a result, the rates of combustion and generation of smoke are substantially reduced, increasing egress time. In addition, the fire is usually contained to the room of origin which helps to maintain structural integrity and minimizes property damage.

FireGuard E-84 can be used on existing structures to bring them into compliance with building and fire codes, or as a tool in new construction. E-84 can address code requirements where structural load weight, space, or other special concerns cannot be satisfied by more traditional means of achieving fire-rated assemblies. As an added benefit, this intumescent coating also offers a cost-effective solution; it is available at a fraction of the cost of other materials that protect against flame and smoke spread.

FireGuard E-84 has been used in a variety of buildings and structures, from residential structures to industrial and business buildings. Because FireGuard E-84 can be applied directly onto original surfaces, it is a perfect solution for protecting and preserving historical structures against fire damage. With the use of FireGuard Z-1 Tie-Coat, a specially formulated transitional coating, FireGuard E-84 Intumescent Coating can be top-coated with a wide variety of water-based finishes including flat, semi-gloss and satin paint to achieve a seamless finish in any color or sheen.

For buildings that have already been constructed, FireGuard E-84 offers a method of achieving a fire-rated assembly with minimal disruption to the existing occupants of the building. Application is both quick and easy. In some cases after coating a substrate with FireGuard E-84, an additional coat can be applied during the same day as the initial application. The total curing process will take up to 7 days; however, the coating will dry to the touch quickly, allowing for use and occupancy while the coating cures completely.
