Timber Whitewash
Description

Fireshield Timber Whitewash is a waterborne, halogen free, intumescent coating with a whitewash Scandinavian finish, designed for use on light coloured timber interior timber wall and ceiling surfaces. Timber Whitewash provides a Group 1-S solution

It foams into a thick layer when exposed to high temperatures derived from flames or intensive heat radiation from fire. The porous layer of foam effectively extinguishes the flow of heat to the coated surface.

Approved clear top coats can be used to seal for added durability when required. The Maintenance Guide and Application Instructions are available upon request from Fireshield.
