Flame-retardant coating VermiCOAT
Fireproof coating VermiCOAT is applied to the surface of the material in order to make it fire resistant. Qualitatively coated flame retardant treatment is an effective means to prevent fire.
Fireproof coating VermiCOAT is intended to enhance the fire resistance of steel and ferroconcrete structures, air ducts in construction, industry and etc.
VermiCOAT is an environmentally friendly coating, mixture of vermiculite, inorganic binders, plasticizers, adhesive and airholding additives. It possesses good adhesion to a protected surface.
Fireproof coating VermiCOAT is shut in water and flame retardant mixture is prepared directly on site.

When applying fire-retardant coating VermiCOAT at high temperatures, low humidity and less drafts, to avoid cracking and delaminating, we recommend moistening of processed surface 24 hours after application.
It is allowed to use VermiCOAT as a light plaster on the surfaces of metal, mineral wool, reinforced concrete and brick structures.
