FIGHTER®
(Patent Pending)
Intumescing Compound for the Protection of
Wood Structures
Each year, Grass and Brush fires frequently damage wood
structures located in remote areas, often inaccessible by local fire
departments. Although these fires move very quickly, they often ignite
wood structures, such as electric utility and telephone poles, located in their
path.
Our Blaze Fighter® intumescing
compound was specifically developed to protect wood utility poles and other wood
structures against damage by grass and brush fires. The best protection is
obtained by applying the compound well ahead of time in areas where the
potential for brush fires exist. Because the product was designed to provide
effective protection in a short period of time after application, it is also
suitable for use in emergency situations.
The product is suitable for application to:

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the product be re-applied
over previous coating which has been exposed to fire?
What is the shelf life of the
product?
How long does the protection
last?
How many burn cycles is the
protection good for?
-
Based
on our internal testing, a burn only affects the top layer of the coating
however, to be on the safe side, we recommend re-application after every burn.
How high, from the ground up,
does the pole need to be protected?
How many cartridges are required
to cover 1 pole?
-
Depending on the pole diameter, applied carefully to obtain an even layer, one
full cartridge should be sufficient for one pole, up to 4' high. This type of
protection is recommended for 1 burn only.
How do we clean up accidental
spillage?
-
Liquid
material may be cleaned up, wearing the recommended protective gloves, using a
disposable rag. Accidental spillage on tools may also be cleaned off in this
manner. A more thorough cleaning may be achieved using our CLA 8030 cleanup
solvent which is available for purchase.
Are there any hazards associated
with overspray?
-
It is
recommended that the product is applied in a sheltered area or when the winds
are calm to minimize any overspray.
-
Careful application minimizes overspray. Any over sprayed material, dispensed
through the nozzle, is properly mixed and will solidify in a very short period
of time. Once solidified, it becomes totally inert and will not effect the
surrounding vegetation.
Are there any VOC to be concerned
with?
How do we dispose unwanted liquid
material?
-
The
easiest way to dispose product is to allow it to solidify. The solid material
is totally inert and safe to dispose in regular waste. Dispensing the product,
through the static mix head, into a container, will allow it to solidify for
disposal.
-
Liquid
materials must be disposed in accordance with local regulations.
What are the
recommended application
conditions?
Is the material harmful to
animals and/or wildlife?
