Fire Retardant Clear Matte

This particular flame retardant is a Class B interior, intumescent, latex, clear, flat coating. It has a non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic formulation. Intumescent coatings will insulate the surface from the heat for a short period of time by swelling up and expanding when exposed to flame, producing a heat resistant charred surface.
The product is meant for use on wood, fiberboard, plasterboard, cardboard, foliage and works well on pretty much any surface that could use a clear, flat flame-retardant coating.
For business purposes, if you wish Certification for the State of California it requires that a California State Certified Applicator be the one to do the actual application of the product so that the job complies with requirements of the California State Fire Marshal.
