We are committed to manufacturing products that consistently meet the specifications and are used in a way to meet the performance certified by the accredited testing agencies. In a nutshell, Flame Retardant Coatings must meet the following strict conditions: - They must be tested by an accredited laboratory or code agency. -They must be made consistently to the specifications that were tested -They must state the coating thickness and substrates tested -They must be used on similar substrates and at similar or greater coating thicknesses When comparing competing products you need to be certain that you are comparing apples to apples - meaning that you need to be certain that they meet all the above requirements and examine the economics when the coating is used - as tested . We regularly see comparisons where products are either not tested by an accredited agency or where the coating thickness as tested would require using twice the amount as a competing Flame Control product. For example Competitor X has a coating that gives a Class A at 2 coats at 145 ft² per gallon per coat (or 72.5 ft²/gallon). Our 20-20A is a similar product but uses half the paint since it gives a Class A at 1 coat at 155 ft²per gallon. Flame Control has developed a - position paper as well as a presentation for our sales representatives describing the products and how we compare with some of the competition. Click here to read the position paper or to sign up for a 30 minute webinar - or call us and we can discuss a competitive product or application you're working on. Flame Control Foam Kote Passes New ICC-ES Criteria The ICC-ES has revised its criteria for alternative ignition barriers for Spray Polyurethane Foam for Attics and Crawlspaces. Flame Control has tested our 50-50 Foam Kote (and our new 50-50A) and passed the new ICC-ES acceptance criteria. Contact us for more information. Aerosols Available Reminder: we have aerosols of some of our products available: #6/166/167 Class A Varnish System, #141 Class B Varnish, #10-10 Class A Paint, and TemperKote® 1000 in Black, White, Silver and Safety Red. Flame Control's New TemperKote^® Products CUI-HS and Zinc Primer Flame Control Coatings, LLC has announced the commercialization of TemperKote® CUI-HS - a coating designed for CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) for elevated temperature applications as well as a new Hi-Heat® primer - TemperKote®1000 Zinc Primer. TemperKote CUI-HS is a High-Build, VOC compliant coating designed to prevent corrosion of metal surfaces at elevated temperatures under thermal insulation. The coating withstands severe thermal cyclic conditions to 1200ºF (649ºC), boiling water immersion and wet-dry-wet thermal cycling. It is specially formulated to form a tenacious protective bond to a variety of metals, providing maximum corrosion protection under various types of thermal insulation. TemperKote CUI-HS has the additional benefit of being formulated for application to Hot Surfaces. This coating can be applied to metal exhibiting temperatures from ambient to 400°F (204°C). TemperKote 1000 Industrial Hi-Heat Corrosion Resistant Zinc Primer is a VOC compliant, two component primer designed to impart corrosion resistance in severe environments. The primer withstands severe thermal cyclic conditions to 1000°F. It is specially formulated to form a tenacious protective bond to steel, providing maximum corrosion protection under TemperKote 600 and 1000 color stable topcoats Flame Control Adds UPC Codes Starting in September, Flame Control has begun to label our individual gallon cans and five gallon pails with standard UPC codes.
