The Firefree Wildfire System meets the fire standard the ASTM E2768 30 minutes for ignition resistance and ASTM E84 30 Minute Extended, for application in WUI listed fire zones. This standard, which is used for fire retardant treated lumber (“FRT”), involves measuring a product’s ability to slow down horizontal flame spread and smoke development.
The Firefree Wildfire System meets the ASTM D2898 method B for weatherization, which requires lengthy, severe testing to both water and UV exposures. As a result, it is well suited for exterior applications.
Our products are simple to use and are non-toxic, high quality paints with excellent adhesion and durability. They are easy to apply by roller, sprayer and brush, and, in most cases, self-priming, thus providing a cost effective method to meet the fire and weatherization standards. In many cases the use of the system will assist with availability and rates of insurance.
The Firefree Wildfire System includes two coatings: Firefree Class A (“FfA”) which provides the fire ignition resistance, and the Firefree Exterior topcoat (“FfE”) which is applied over FfA to protect FfA from long term weather exposure. The Exterior System does not need to be reapplied yearly.
In order to meet the ASTM WUI fire standards, any system need to pass BOTH the fire and weatherization testing to show that the fire resistant properties will survive long term exposure.
The Firefree System has been tested first to severe weatherization exposure, following by severe fire testing showing that the product retained its fire ignition resistance after long term weather exposure. All fire and weatherization tests have been validated by IAS and CalFire Accredited Fire Test Laboratories. The Firefree System is listed by ICC-ES.
Our products have excellent durability and a smooth architectural-grade finish. The System will provide both an exterior stain-resistant prime and a durable white, satin finish. If a different color or finish is desired, FfE can be top coated with most premium paints to achieve the desired color and finish. For large orders (>200 gallons) FfE can be tinted by Firefree Coatings. Please contact Firefree for such custom tinted orders.
Our products are eco-friendly and safe. They have very low VOCs, significantly lower that current EPA regulations or even California’s stringent limits. Firefree Class A qualifies for Leed v4.
