How it works:
Insulating Basecoat expands in a fire to create a resilient insulating barrier.
Dualcoat Smoke and Flame Retardant emits a safe fire-damping vapour in a fire to
control flame spread and suppress smoke.
Dualcoat SFR’s polyurethane hardened acrylic “cross-links” during the drying process to form a
smoother, harder, more cleanable surface than typical wall paints and help eliminate the
microscopic pockets that host bacteria which prevent effective cleaning.
A unique concentrated mix of safe, biocidal metal encapsulated nano-particles attacks viruses
and bacteria that settle on surfaces, damaging their protective “envelope” to kill their live cores
and disable their spikes penetration of lung’s cells
