  • What is NoFire Paint & How does it differ from ordinary paint?

    • NoFire paint belongs to a class known as Intumescents. Simply stated, an intumescent paint is one that expands when activated or exposed to heat.
    • NoFire is applied the same way ordinary latex paint is applied, with a roller brush or by spraying.
    • It is Non-Hazardous and environmentally safe.
    • It is Water base - Easy clean-up with water. Nontoxic - in Both the liquid state and after activated at high temperatures.
    • It provides a Highly Durable Flat Finish.
    • It Adheres well to most surfaces.
    • It is a Single Component, requires no blending, no mixing.
    • It needs No Special Surface Preparation.
    • It needs No Special Application Equipment.
    • It is Available in All Colors (tinted at factory).

  • We offer the following types of paint for your applications :

    • NoFire A-18



      FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY
      Exterior Use Requires a Topcoat      		 NoFire A-18 paint is the standard used for all land based civilian applications including residential, commercial and industrial uses. It is used in all NoFire Textile materials.

      NoFire A-18 is a classified product by Underwriters Laboratories. It complies with the Uniform Building Code requirements and exceeds standards for many commercial and industrial applications. A complete list of approvals including copies of test reports is available in the NoFire Technical Manual.

    • NoFire A-18 Marine



      FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY
      Exterior Use Requires a Topcoat      		 Is type approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Lloyd's Register, ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), Germanischer Lloyd.

      It is approved for use in the European Community (EC) by DNV and Germanischer Lloyd, also known as MED approval.

    • NoFire A-18 NV



      FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY
      Exterior Use Requires a Topcoat      		 NoFire A-18NV is qualified for use by the U.S. Navy and listed on the Qualified Product List (QPL) under MIL-PRF-24596 Type II for surface ships and submarines. It is also on the U.S. Government General Services Administration (GSA) schedule under GS-06F-0024K and National Stock Number 8010-01-481-0253.

    • NoFire LP



      FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY
      Exterior Use Requires a Topcoat      		 A New addition to NoFire's line of high quality, environmentally safe coatings, formulated to compete in today's lower priced and residential market places.

      Not designed to be used for hydrocarbon or jet fires, NoFire LP's fire performance under standard wood fire conditions is nearly identical to NoFire A-18. All "LP's" other properties such as low smoke and toxicity, environmental safety, durability, resistance to aging and deterioration are identical to NoFire A-18. "LP" is ideal for commercial and industrial OEM applications such as coating of wood products.

    • NoFire Uracoat



      FOR INTERIOR USE ONLY
      Exterior Use Requires a Topcoat      		 NoFire URACOAT is an innovative, durable coating designed to be used as a topcoat to NoFire A-18, A-18 Marine or A-18NV.

      The two-component coating dries rapidly to a high gloss tile-like finish with resistance to moisture, alkali, abrasion and chemical attack.
