It is good practice to key the surface while wet using waterproof abrasive paper or pads if the surface is new or you are applying a water-based finish on top of solvent-based or glossy paint, or on a very hard and impermeable surface. When exposed to extreme heat temperature, this type of coating works by releasing a gas that dampens or retards flames by starving them of the oxygen they need. The function of fire retardant paint is to reduce the spread of the flames and to slow down the fire. In residential homes, this can be a really efficient safety measure that will go a long way to contain a fire. In addition to these tests, paints also come with fire retardant classifications of A through C. The system was originally developed by the National Fire Protection Administration for their “Line Safety Code”. When observing the rules of buildings, make sure to take into account the required retardant classification before purchasing your paint materials.
