Fire retardant coatings for wood

Teknos fire retardant coatings, intumescent primers and paints, are waterborne and can be applied to any wood-based substrate through a traditional coating process. Our solution will ensure that your sustainable wood material meets the most stringent fire safety standards without compromising its appearance or cost.

How fire retardant coating works

During a fire, fire retardant coating swells to form a protective foam layer, which partially uses energy during foaming and partially insulates the underlying wood from fire. Fire retardant treated wood provides benefits like a significantly slower ignition time, less smoke production, and no flaming droplets. Fire retardant treatment for wood gives people more time to escape a fire.
