Contego High-Solids Intumescent Paint

Safeguard your structural investments with Contego High-Solids Intumescent Paint, the industry-leading fire barrier designed to deliver uncompromising safety without sacrificing aesthetics. Engineered with advanced latex-based polymer technology, Contego provides a thin-film, ultra-smooth finish that looks just like high-quality primer, but reacts under extreme heat to save lives and preserve property.

Why Choose Contego Intumescent Paint?

When exposed to fire, Contego’s advanced formula undergoes a chemical reaction, expanding into a thick, cellular char barrier. This intumescent layer effectively insulates structural components, delaying thermal collapse and providing critical evacuation time.

  • Versatile Substrate Bonding: Formulated for maximum adhesion to structural steel, standard lumber, engineered wood, drywall, concrete, and even polyurethane foam.

  • Aesthetic-Grade Finish: Unlike gritty, industrial fireproof coatings, Contego dries to a smooth, crisp white finish that can be top-coated with any high-quality alkyd or acrylic paint to match your interior design.

  • Eco-Friendly & Safe: With a low-VOC, non-toxic, and completely odorless formulation, it is perfectly safe for application in occupied buildings, schools, and hospitals.

  • Certified Peace of Mind: Extensively tested and certified by UL, Intertek, and major global standards to meet rigorous fire resistance ratings (up to 2 hours depending on application thickness).

Ideal Applications

Whether you are retrofitting a historic timber loft, coating exposed commercial steel beams, or fire-rating residential drywall, Contego offers a cost-effective, labor-efficient solution. It applies easily using standard airless sprayers, rollers, or brushes, reducing labor costs and project downtime.

Protect what matters most. Choose Contego High-Solids Intumescent Paint for a beautiful, paper-smooth finish that delivers heavy-duty, certified fire protection when it counts.

FAQ

Questions before you order?

What is Flamex PF-2 used for?

Flamex PF-2 is a fire-retardant treatment for exterior wood, wood mulch, straw, and thatch.

Can I request help estimating quantity?

What container sizes are available?

How quickly should I order?

If the project is tied to an inspection, construction milestone, or installation date, request pricing and availability before scheduling the application. That avoids relying on unverified lead times.

How do I apply Flamex PF-2?

For optimal results, proper application is essential. Follow these guidelines to ensure maximum surface protection:

  1. Surface Preparation: The wood must be clean, dry, and free of existing stains, paints, or sealants that would block absorption.
  2. Method of Application: Use a low-pressure sprayer, brush, or roller to apply the product uniformly.
  3. Saturation: Ensure the wood reaches full saturation, normally 3-4 passes, making sure each pass penetrates before applying the next one (wet-on-wet application).
  4. Curing: Allow the product to dry completely—typically 24 to 48 hours—before exposing the surface to heavy moisture or foot traffic.
