Contego Original Formula Intumescent Paint

Safeguard your interior spaces with Contego Original Formula Intumescent Paint, the industry-standard reactive fire barrier (RFB) engineered for versatile substrate compatibility. Designed primarily for interior building materials, this full-bodied, water-based acrylic latex coating provides elite passive fire protection without compromising on architectural beauty.

Unlike heavy, industrial fireproofing materials, Contego Original dries to a paper-smooth, crisp white finish. It looks exactly like a high-quality primer yet stands ready to expand up to 100 times its thickness into a thick, insulating char layer when exposed to extreme heat—buying critical evacuation time.

Key Features & Benefits

• Multi-Substrate Versatility: Optimally formulated for seamless adhesion to dimensional lumber, manufactured wood (OSB, plywood, and MDF), drywall, gypsum board, plaster, and concrete.

• Superior Spray Foam Protection: Meets and exceeds the 15-minute thermal barrier requirements (UL 1715/IBC-2603) for spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation.

• Easy Application: No specialized equipment needed. It applies effortlessly using a standard brush, roller, or airless sprayer, reducing labor costs and shortening project timelines.

• Zero-VOC & Non-Toxic: Safe for eco-conscious projects and occupied spaces. It is entirely odorless, non-carcinogenic, and non-dermatic, making it ideal for schools, hospitals, and homes.

• Architectural Finish: Can be top-coated with any premium acrylic or alkyd paint, allowing you to meet strict building codes while matching any interior design aesthetic.

Certified Code Compliance

Contego Original is rigorously tested and certified by global standards (including UL, Intertek, and ASTM). It adds up to a 1-to-2-hour fire resistance rating depending on the substrate and film thickness, ensuring full compliance with local building codes.
