About Firefree

Firefree Coatings, Inc., is the leading developer of high-quality fire retardant and fire resistant intumescent coatings that help reduce the spread of fire, minimize smoke and toxic gases that would occur during a fire; thus, giving occupants extra time to evacuate a building safely and limiting property damages.  Established in 1994, With years of experience and specialization in the industry, our mission is to enhance safety and prevent the devastating effects of fire in commercial, residential, warehouses, multi use buildings, and industrial facilities.

Firefree Coatings has customers from all over the world. We sell and ship our intumescent coatings for private, corporate and government projects. Our Company is strongly committed to human safety and environmental issues, and is strongly positioned to meet the increasing demand for fire safety for commercial, government, multi-use, residential, industrial and other markets.  
Firefree Coatings is a member of NFPA, ICC, ASTM E05 Committee.

It is important to note that while Ff88® and FfA can significantly improve fire safety, they should be used as part of a comprehensive fire prevention plan that includes smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits. We ship our fire resistant products worldwide. Our products, Firefree 88® (“Ff88®”) and Firefree Class A (“FfA”), are designed to provide a high level of fire protection, often exceeding the performance of alternative fire retardant products. Ff88® is our premier product, providing both fire retardant and fire-resistant properties. It is a non-toxic, water-based, intumescent paint that can be applied to various materials, including gypsum board, plaster, lath, concrete, metal, tin, foam, foam composite panels, and wood. FfA is a Class A coating rated by ASTM E84 for flame spread & smoke development, and it can be used on many of the same surfaces as Ff88®.

“It’s a water based paint & proven in a number of different kinds of fire tests to give it a immeasurable improvement in performance. This company has done things that no other intumescent paint company has done. We’ve used 30 lb. Wood cribs in these two buildings, that’s a very severe fire shortage. There’s no intumescent paint in this building on my right at all. An identical building on my left is painted with the intumescent paint.”

Professor Brady Williamson University of California, Berkeley

"Firefree was very accommodating and helpful with understanding the Firefree 88® product uses.The Firefree 88® product is a great alternative and more cost effective than installing a 1-hour sheetrock assembly in many cases.

I’ve observed the fire burning for 20 minutes, felt the outside of the wall & it was absolutely cool to the touch. As an experienced fir fighter, that is totally astounding.”
