Protecta Service Coat FR-1 is an acrylic based intumescent coating, designed to increase the fire resistance of fire seals. It also protects cables, cable trays and metal pipes.

Service Coat FR-1 protects the cables outer plastic or rubber sheath, thereby protecting the conductors to secure continued electrical supply in a fire situation. The coating also protects and lowers temperatures in metal services passing through a fire seal, increasing the overall fire resistance.

Service Coat FR-1 is non-toxic, emission-free, durable and can be applied in a thin coat, saving both time and money. It is a hardwearing product, formulated to the highest specification and offering unsurpassed intensity of colour when applied.

The coating can be tinted, all colours are water-based and provide a smooth, rich and non-reflective finish. It usually requires no primer or top coat, is easy to use and easy to clean up.

Extra information
  • A high performance, fire resistant coating, designed to be applied as a thin film on services protecting cables, cable trays and metal pipes in a fire.
  • Available either in a white base or in a range of colours, easily and quickly mixed via our in-house colour-tinting machine.
  • Once a protective topcoat has been applied, Protecta® Service Coat FR-1 can be used in exterior applications.
  • Non-toxic and emission free, with near zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and best possible emission classifications available, makes the coating perfect for anyone wishing to avoid breathing in toxic chemicals.
  • Especially beneficial for people suffering from asthma, allergies or any other breathing related diseases.
  • Durable, robust and designed to last; can be cleaned with a damp cloth without the risk of washing off the coating.
  • Achieve excellent coverage with a spray applied thin coat system (the most cost effective option), saving paint and application time. Brush and roller applications can also be performed, often in only a few coats. Topcoat is normally not necessary.
  • Suitable for most surfaces, including rubber, plastics, concrete, bricks, masonry, primed steel, wood, gypsum and most non-porous surfaces, in most cases without a primer.
  • Halogen free with added preservatives that resist bacterial and fungal growth, providing extra protection to health in addition to the non-harmful emissions. The product also protects the underlying substrates.
  • The coating’s durability is expected to be at least 12 years, making it a cost effective option in comparison to normal paints with limited durability.
  • The coating is not intended for application on bituminous substrates or substrates that can exude certain oils and plasticizers or solvents. This product is not recommended for use in constant humid areas without a topcoat.
  • Please do not apply in very damp or humid conditions, or extreme
    temperatures.
Installation guidelines

PREPARE
Before coating ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry and free from grease, dirt, dust, and other contaminants. Remove any old or flaking paint until you have a sound surface; if in doubt remove all existing coatings.

ROLLER/BRUSH
The coating can be applied by brush or roller to the required loading. If desired the coating can be diluted by up to 10% (by volume), but 5% is typical. If diluted the WFT loading should be increased by the amount the coating was diluted. For example, if the fire protection loading was 1,300µ and the coating was diluted by 5%, the loading that now needs to be applied is ~1,370µ. Alternatively, to ensure the correct loading has been applied simply apply all of the FR-1 coating specified to coat a given area regardless of how much it was diluted.
Remove excess coating from the brush or roller on the rim of the paint pot and then wash brush/roller with water.

SPRAY
The coating can be applied using spray equipment, for example, the Graco X-Force Spray Gun with a tip size 17-21thou. The coating can also be diluted for spraying but the fire protection loading would need to be adjusted as described above.
