Intumescent Coatings

An intumescent coating is a specially formulated protective layer designed for vulnerable and flammable substrates. In its natural state, it appears smooth, much like regular paint. However, when exposed to heat or flames, it rapidly expands, forming a protective char that insulates the substrate. This barrier slows heat transfer, delaying structural failure and enhancing fire resistance.

DC-315 Intumescent Coating Thermal Barrier, 5 Gallons, Black (Please call customer service at 706-557-1400 for volume pricing) (if you order 36 buckets (a pallet) you will receive free shipping)

This fire barrier spray foam is an intumescent coating applied over Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) to achieve a “15 Minute Alternative to Thermal Barrier” and “5 Minute Ignition Barrier.” This 5 gallon spray foam insulation is compliant to IBC & IRC codes; 3rd party inspected and listed by Warnock Hersey ( WN-20947), and meets the requirements of the AC456 criteria recently updated in AC377. DC315 has more than 200 tests worldwide over a wide variety of foams. It has one of the best coverage rates for foam at 115 sq ft/gallon, making it very cost efficient.

All surfaces to be coated must be clean, cured, firm, dry and free of dust, dirt, oil, wax, grease, mildew, and efflorescence. The quality of any application is only as good as the surface preparation that precedes the application. Our coating has excellent bonding characteristics and will adhere to most sound, clean, foam surfaces. Verify that the surface of the foam is free of gouges, holes, and exposed cells. Also verify the surface is stable, and not crumbling or deteriorated. If any such defects are found make sure to repair them prior to proceeding.
 
This spray on thermal barrier must be thoroughly mixed before application. Failure to do so will seriously compromise the coating's ability to perform. It is recommended to perform mechanical stirring with a high speed drill and a paddle appropriate for the size container you are working from. Contents should be stirred from the bottom up making sure to scrape the bottom and sides with a paint stick as you go. Contents should be stirred to a creamy consistency with no lumps. Continue mixing for 4-5 minutes per 5 gallon pail. Thinning is usually not needed. If DC 315 has been exposed to high heat, water may evaporate from the plastic 5 gallon container. If the paint level is below 3 inches from the top of the container, add enough water to bring the level back up to within 3 inches from the top in order to ensure proper consistency.
 
This 5 gallon spray foam insulation is best applied with an airless sprayer to achieve a more consistent mil thickness. In challenging areas where an airless sprayer is not practical, DC 315 can be applied by brush or roller Spraying DC 315 for Maximum Yield: If this is the first time using DC 315 we suggest testing a pre-measured area to get a feel for spraying and yield. Example, if the job requires 20 wet mils or 80 sq. ft. per gallon, then a 5 gallon pail would cover 400 sq. ft. Measure out one or two 400 sq. ft. sections using pieces of tape, thumbtacks, or canned spray paint. Use just enough to outline the area you intend to apply DC 315. We suggest spraying inside the outlined area and taking wet film thickness measurements, with a wet film gauge across the area, to get a feel for maximum yield.

Building Code Fire Performance Requirements for Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF): The International Building Code (IBC) mandates that SPF be separated from the interior of the building by a 15-minute thermal barrier, or other approved covering. DC315 Carries IAMPO ER-0499 and ICC- ESR 3702 Evaluation Reports confirming that DC315 meets IBC and IRC Code Requirements as an alternative thermal barrier for SPF. DC315 has also been tested as an ignition barrier under AC 377 Appendix X for use in attics and crawlspaces. DC315 is UL Certified R40016 for use in exterior wall systems and has been tested in accordance with NFPA 285 when applied over spray foam on the exterior side of buildings clad with architectural metal finish panels.

    No-Burn Plus Spray Seal Intumescent Coating, 5 gallons, Light Gray (fire rated fluid-applied AVB that replaces the need for building wrap or Zip System)

    No-Burn Plus Spray Seal is an intumescent and air barrier coating in one for use over exterior oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood that will be covered with cladding. Durability features allow up to 6-months of UV and weather exposure providing builders with greater cladding installation flexibility. Compliant with the International Building Code, International Residential Code, and International Energy Conservation Code.

    No-Burn Plus Spray Seal works to control air movement and prevent air from leaking in and out, reducing heating and cooling costs, enhancing indoor air quality, and improving comfort.

    In accordance with Energy Codes and energy efficiency requirements, lower ACH rates are required and desired. No-Burn Plus Spray Seal helps to reduce the ACH within the building envelope.

    In addition to air sealing capabilities, No-Burn Plus Spray Seal provides fire protection, equivalent to fire retardant treated wood (FRTw). All features packaged in a one-step application, eliminates other products and saves on costs.

    Benefits:

    •  1.6 ACH 50 rating using fiberglass and a basic air-sealing package
    •  Meets fire retardant treated wood rating
    •  Minimal taping – only seams not backed by framing
    •  Rapid installs – 2 to 4 homes per day
    •  6-month UV & Weather exposure
    •  NEW ZERO LOT LINE - 1HR RATED WALL ASSEMBLY

    No-Burn Plus ThB Intumescent Coating , 5 gallons, White

    No-Burn Plus ThB is ideal for a thermal barrier assembly, ignition barrier assembly or exterior rated wall assembly. This intumescent fire resistant coating is designed for interior spaces, where spray polyurethane foam insulation is installed. No-Burn Plus ThB is tested and approved to coat the leading brands of spray polyurethane foam.

    No-Burn Plus ThB is an International Building, International Residential, and National Fire Protection Association Life Safety 101 thin film intumescent coating. When exposed to high temperatures and flame, Plus ThB intumesces creating a char-barrier protecting treated substrates from fire. Manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001, as a certified intumescent coating, Plus ThB is applied to spray polyurethane foam insulation, achieving the fire performance prescribed.

    When exposed to extreme heat or fire, No-Burn intumescent paint swells to many times its original wet film thickness, creating a char-barrier that shields your substrate and significantly reduces the rate of combustion. Designed with the professional in mind, our safe, simple one-coat spray application achieves the code compliance you need with a water-based, low VOC emission formula.

    • Intumescent paint is specially formulated to react to extreme heat. When exposed to temperatures around 350–400°F, the coating undergoes sublimation, expanding up to 100 times its original thickness to form a stable, carbonaceous char layer. This char acts as an insulating barrier, slowing heat transfer and protecting the underlying substrate.

    By delaying heat penetration, intumescent coatings provide crucial fire protection—buying valuable time when every second counts.
