INFERNO
COMPLETELY FIREPROOF PAINT
Inferno is a new state of the art fireretardant paint using proprietary cuttingedge intumescent fire retardants, fireresistance and mold inhibitingtechnology. This product has been highlytested and has passed numerous testsfrom nationally certified laboratories andtesting facilities. It has been proven bylaboratory tests to have the ability tohelp prevent vertical flame spread,flashover and to help prevent firepenetrations of a wall assembly for up totwo hours!! Inferno has zero mold growth. Simply paint Inferno on the interior of your home orbuilding. This will create unsurpassed fire and mold protection. When Inferno is exposed to hightemperatures or direct flame there is an "Intumescent reaction." Simply stated, Inferno expands,caramelizes and forms a "char barrier" that lifts off the surface of the material. In so doing,Inferno offers an effective and durable barrier that cuts off the fuel source that fire needs todevelop.Inferno is a water based Acrylic paint, which is non-toxic, non-hazardous, has no smell, looksand is applied like standard house paint. It will give you fire rating depending upon surface type,non fire rated drywall, different wood types (including manufactured boards and plywood), andwill even protect foam products.Inferno can be applied as either a primer or finish coat over existing painted or unpaintedsurfaces with superior adhesion; it will withstand temperatures up to 1900º. In a fully paintedroom with doors closed it will contain the fire to that room until the fire dies from lack of combustible material. If door edges are painted the heated paint swells to seal the door and hotgases cannot escape. In open rooms or buildings it will assist in the retardation of the flamespread into ceiling spaces or danger areas thus vastly increasing the time for the fire departmentto attend. In a bush fire scenario it will repel the heat and flames generated by the burningfoliage. In a boat or caravan it will contain the fire to localized areas thus noticeably increasingthe chance of the fire being successfully fought and lives being saved.

Surface Preparation:
All surfaces to be painted must be clean, cured, firm, dry and freeof dust, dirt, oil, wax, grease, mildew, efflorescence, loose flaking paint, etc. Glossy surfacesshould be dulled by sanding. Patch nail holes, cracks, blemishes etc., with appropriate patchingcompounds and sand smooth. For best results rough, irregular surfaces should be sand feathered.Remember, the quality of any paint job is only as good as the surface preparation that precedesthe paint application. While our product has excellent bonding characteristics, even the bestcoatings will fail to bond over time, if sub-surfaces are inadequately prepared.
Priming:

New Work:
While Inferno may be used as the primer on many surfaces such as wood andsheetrock for best results it is recommended that all new work is primed with standard primersdesigned for each surface and our coating be applied as an intermediate coat before top coating.Ask your paint dealer for recommendations of appropriate primers for each substrate.•
