Product Description:
BURN BARRIER™ – 10-10 is a solvent based intumescent fire retardant paint and is
manufactured in accordance with Federal Specification TT-P-26C. It is designed for use on
interior surfaces. The coating dries quickly to a velvety flat finish, having the appearance of
a conventional paint. Upon exposure to fire, BURN BARRIER™ – 10-10 puffs up (intumesces),
forming a dense cellular foam layer. This foam layer greatly reduces the surface
burning characteristics of combustible materials, and retards the penetration of heat to
metal surfaces.

Surface Preparation:
Surface preparation should be carried out according to good painting practices. All dirt,
grease, oil, wax, rust and other foreign matter must be removed.

New Surfaces:
New wood, fiberboard and other surfaces having uneven or excessive porosity should be
sealed with No. 3001 Alkyd Primer, and allowed to dry a minimum of 16 hours before
applying BURN BARRIER™ 10-10. New drywall, plaster and masonry surfaces should be
internally dry and cured. Prime with No. 3003 Acrylic Primer, and allow to dry overnight
before applying BURN BARRIER™ 10-10. New metal surfaces must be primed. Apply No.
3004 Universal Primer or No. 3005 Two Component Epoxy Primer. Allow to dry 16 hours
or until hard, before applying BURN BARRIER™ 10-10.

Previously Painted Surfaces:
BURN BARRIER™ 10-10 may be applied directly to existing paint that is tightly adherent
and in good condition.All glossy surfaces should be dulled with sandpaper. Spot prime
where necessary with appropriate primers as shown above, before application of BURN
BARRIER™ 10-10.

Application:
BURN BARRIER™ 10-10 is ready to use. It can be applied by brush, roller, airless or
conventional heavy duty spray equipment. Stir thoroughly and apply, using a full bodied
coat. If thinning is required, use only BURN BARRIER™ 10-10 Reducer. Do not apply in
temperatures below 50°F (100 C).
Suggested Coverage Rate: 190 to 230 sq.ft./US gallon (230 to 275 sq.ft./Imp. gal) in one
or two coats. See fire hazard classification for specific coverage rates.

Drying Time:
Dries to touch in approximately 4 hours. Allow at least 24 hours drying time before over
coating.

For thinning use BURN BARRIER™ 10-10 Reducer, and when cleaning use Rule 66
mineral spirits.
