• Designed for overcoating existing painted surfaces
• Existing painted surfaces do not need to be removed
• Water-based system for reduced odours and no health hazards
• Suitable for using in confined environments such as corridors, stairwells and lift lobbies

Basecoat

Nu-Flame Heat Insulating Basecoat is an intumescent paint basecoat developed to insulate flammable paint systems and control surface spread of flame. When exposed to a fire it releases a flame-extinguishing gas which protects the surface. Simultaneously heat activates Nu-Flame Heat Insulating Basecoat underneath causing it to expand and create a fire-protective barrier, insulating old paint films from heat and oxygen.

Nu-Flame Heat Insulating Basecoat is an intumescent paint undercoat for application to previously painted plaster, Artex, board, brick and concrete walls and ceilings. This is then overcoated with the desired Nu-Flame fire-retardant paint which insulates old paint films from fire, controlling the spread of flames along walls and ceilings.
