FR100
FIRE RESISTANT COATING

FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY

DESCRIPTION
FR100 is a premium quality water based, nontoxic, thin film
intumescent coating formulated to provide a fire retardant,
resistant barrier on a variety of interior substrates, including FRP
composite laminates. It is suitable for residential, multifamily,
commercial and industrial projects, for both new and
reconstruction projects. FR100 is approved only for interior use
on C-Clad, E-Clad and PS-C FRP composite systems, and is not
designed for use on structural steel.
ADVANTAGES
Non toxic
Water based
Class A rated for use with C-Clad, E-Clad and PS-C FRP
composite systems (ASTM E84).
Apply two coats of
FR100 with a minimum total dry film thickness of 20 mils
over LinForce -C, -E and -CS FRP composite systems to
achieve the intended ASTM E 84 results in accordance with
Test Report Number RJ1434-1.

HOW TO USE
NOTE:
FR100 must be applied by a licensed painter experienced in
performing the work on projects of similar scope and scale. FRP
Solutions will provide proper application instructions to the
licensed painter contractor selected by the General Contractor
or Owner.
SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces to be coated must be clean, cured, firm, dry and
free of dust, dirt, oil, wax, grease, mildew, loose flaking paint,
efflorescence or any other contamination or condition that would
adversely affect the performance of the coating. Fill holes and
surface irregularities with a suitable patching compound to
match surface profile. Etch or prime glossy, glazed or dense
surfaces with a latex primer or fast dry oil base primer/sealer
where permissible. Always prime oil based finish coatings with
an oil based fast dry primer/sealer. Spot prime all patched areas
with appropriate primer. Metal surfaces must be free of rust.
APPLICATION:
Precautions:
Do not use the product and discard if it has been frozen or has
come into contact with contaminants prior to use. Do not apply
at temperatures below 50F. Do not thin. Apply at can
consistency.
FR100 may be applied by brush or roller. For brush application,
a fully loaded brush should be used. A laying on technique will
reduce the brush marking. A short nap roller can be used but
this may result in a slight textured finish.
For spray applications, use an airless sprayer with a dedicated
spray line. For a list of recommended spray equipment, please
contact FRP Solutions.
If multiple coats of FR100 are required, the surface must be
thoroughly dry to the touch prior to the application of each
additional coat.
FR100 has a flat finish but may be top coated with most paints
to achieve the desired texture and finish.
Enamel finish coat:
Apply one (1) coat of a latex primer or fast dry oil base
primer/sealer over FR100 before applying a latex enamel or oil
base enamel finish coat.
Wall covering applications:
Apply one (1) coat of wall primer over product before applying
wall covering.
For information on approved compatible primers and finish
paints, contact FRP Solutions. Apply additional finish coats only
after previously applied coats are thoroughly dry.
DRYING:
Dry time is when the surface is thoroughly dry to the touch.
Drying times are dependent upon a number of factors including
temperature, air movement, humidity, product thickness, and

method of application. If unsure, please contact FRP Solutions
Technical Services.
Dry film thickness:
During the drying process, FR100 shrinks due to evaporation.
The final dry film thickness will vary according to specific
construction assemblies. The dry film thickness required will
depend on the specific fire rating and substrates to be protected.
Please contact FRP Solutions Technical Services for assistance
with determining the appropriate dry film thickness of the
coating.
INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT OF THICKNESS:
During application, the wet film thickness should be checked
using a wet film thickness gauge. To use the gauge, insert the
teeth into the wet basecoat. The last tooth to be coated indicates
the wet film thickness achieved. It is important to ensure that the
wet film is applied in a sufficient thickness to give the required
dry film thickness.
All applicable surfaces coated with FR100 should be inspected
by a third party special inspection agency, an ICC certified
professional, or a FRP Solutions QA/QC qualified inspector to
verify that FR100 has been properly and uniformly applied in
the required thickness.
If an independent testing agency is retained, it should ensure
that preparation of substrate is in accordance with
manufacturers recommendations. It should randomly obtain and
test samples during application to verify that wet film thickness
of the intumescent coating complies with manufacturers
requirements.
