Description

Guardian is a quick-drying, latex flat finish, Type Class-A fire retardant coating designed for use on interior surfaces. When it comes in contact with heat or fire, Guardian intumesces to form a thick protective blanket between the fire and the substrate to which it is applied. Guardian works by reducing the surface burning characteristics of the substrate to retard the spread of flame.

Applications

Guardian is ideally suited for a variety of commercial and institutional facilities, particularly where occupants need additional time to evacuate the building or relocated to other areas. These applications include hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, day care centers, schools and restaurants. Guardian is also recommended for areas containing valuable or irreplaceable contents including museums, rare book rooms, art galleries, data centers, recording studios and telecommunications complexes.
