Pyrocide EX 4

Flame retardant, intumescent powder. Added to water using a high-shear mixer followed by addition of the latex to the slurry to prepare intumescent coatings. The amount of powder added to the latex/water coating will vary between 35 and 50 per cent depending on the latex used, the coating properties needed, and the flame spread required. Is an excellent flame retardant for many different systems, each system having to be evaluated to determine compatibility and flame spread rating. Used in water-based latex coatings and solvent based resin coatings.
