FIRESHELL® Utility Guard

 

FIRESHELL UTILITY GUARD is a high performance, exterior, water-based, breathable, intumescent coating. This exterior intumescent coating technology has been specifically designed to protect timber from wildfire. The intumescent technology when exposed to radiant heat, ember attack and direct flame reacts to the heat forming a carbon insulating layer on the surface. This protects the substrate and stops any chance of ignition flame spread and structural damage.

Features:

  • Tested to ASTM standards for both fire performance and external weathering performance.
  • Passed 2 X 10 minute burn over: Full scale infield utility pole burn test: No ignition, no structural damage to pole.
  • Vapor permeability allows the pole to breathe and will not promote rot or lack of adhesion like other vapor barrier systems.
  • Self priming to almost any surface.
  • Extreme exterior performance, top coating is not required.
  • Provides a logical, tested and efficient solution to protecting exposed timbers from wildfires.
  • Trusted and proven for residential, commercial, government, public buildings and large infrastructure projects where a high performance durable exterior intumescent coating solution is required.
  • Water-based, non-hazardous coating.
  • A simple application process for existing poles in the field or new poles prior to installation.
  • Serviceable: FireShell Utility Guard does not interfere with operations and maintenance of the pole.
  • Application by airless sprayer.
