Intulac Ultra Basecoat Fire Protection is designed to form a protective carbon char in the event of fire, delaying the inflammation of the wood. It reduces ignitability of soft and hard wood and other wood derivatives. It also insulates against heat, checks fire, prevents propagation of fire and diminishes flue-gas density and flue-gas temperature.

NB: Bollom Intulac Ultra Basecoat must be overcoated with Bollom Intulac Ultra Topcoat after 48 hours and not more than 4 days.

Coverage and Application

Bollom Intulac Ultra Basecoat should be applied undiluted by brush, roller or spray. Surfaces to be painted must be primed with Bollom Intulac™ Ultra Intumescent Base Coat
and dry, free from dust, oil, wax, grease and release agents. Apply two coats of Bollom Intulac Ultra Basecoat to a coverage rate of 5m² per litre, per coat (this means a 5lt tin will cover a total of 12.5m² after the two coats). The Intulac Ultra system requires the application of both the Intumescent Base Coat and Protective Top Coat. The Intulac Ultra Basecoat must be left a minimum of 48 hours and max of 4 days prior to applying the Intulac Ultra Topcoat. Apply 1 coat of Bollom Intulac Ultra Topcoat at 25m² per litre.
