The Science Behind
Why It Works.
Non-Toxic Water-Based Intumescent
Firefree distributes non-toxic, water based intumescent coatings engineered to deliver reliable, cost-effective, code-compliant fire protection. No hazardous chemicals. Low VOC. LEED v4 compliant.
Heat-Activated Protection
When exposed to flame or extreme heat (~350°F), Firefree coatings intumesce expanding many times beyond their original thickness to form a protective char layer that insulates the substrate and dramatically reduces heat release, smoke development, and flame spread.
Works on Almost Any Surface
Approved for application on wood, gypsum board, plaster, lath, concrete, metal, tin, foam, composite panels, FRP, carbon fiber, galvanized steel, aluminum, and more making it the most versatile fire coating system available.

INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Texas Burns More Acres Than Any Other State.
The 2026 Lavender Fire alone burned over 18,400+ acres in a single event. Over 3.2M housing units sit inside wildland-urban interface zones. Hill Country, the Panhandle, and the Piney Woods are at chronic risk — and building codes are tightening fast.
Insurance carriers are pulling out of high-risk zip codes in Texas. Fire-resistant construction is no longer just code compliance — it’s financial survival.
