Flame Stop III™ is one of the most unique fire retardants available on the market today!
It can be easily mixed with any latex based paint or stains.
It requires no seal coat or pre coat as do most other fire retardant paint systems.
It has an indefinite shelf life as do most other systems and since it is not premixed with the paint,
it allows for an unlimited selection of colors and an extensive choice of paint brands.
Just one application of Flame Stop III™ will provide a Class A fire rating.
The mixture is 16 ounces of Flame Stop III™ (as it comes in the container) per 1 gallon of paint.
All you have to do is mix thoroughly and apply according to the instructions of the paint manufacturer.
In most cases, the mixture will become thicker than desired and will require approximately 1-2 pint of water to be added,
therefore, it can be said that Flame Stop III is also useful as a paint extender. If Flame Stop III has been stored in a cool area (less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit),
it may be necessary to pour hot tap water over the Flame Stop III™ container in order to facilitate the mixing.
