Features & Benefits


  • Designed for site application by airless spray
  • Provides fire resistance for up to 60 minutes on structural steel
  • After appropriate drying, Firetex FX2007 specifications can be exposed to the weather for up to 6 months provided that the specific use or storage does not lead to ponding water due to rainfall, condensation or other site circumstances
  • Tested and assessed to EN13381-8 and BS EN13381-9
  • CE Mark Number: 2812-CPR-GA5055
  • European Technical Assessment: ETA-22/0352
  • Certifire Approved - Certificate CF6088
  • Recommended application methods
    • Airless Spray
  • Can resist normal weather conditions for up to 6 months without topcoat provided it has had appropriate drying prior to exposure. After this time period an appropriate top coat shall be applied
  • If the specific use or storage could lead to prolonged contact with water due to rainfall, condensation, or other site / transportation / storage circumstances, then a recommended topcoat must be used to prevent damage to the basecoat
  • Touch dry in approx. 20 minutes at 23°C, re-coat in approx. 4 hours at 23°C



Recommended Primers/Topcoats


  • Several primers have been approved for use under Firetex FX2007.  For certain dry, internal situations where the final colour/ appearance is not critical, then Firetex FX2007 may remain un-topcoated
  • For externally exposed steelwork and severe internal environments Acrolon A7300, Acrolon C137V2 or Acrolon C237 must be used as a topcoat
  • For other internal environments where a topcoat is required then Firetex M71V2 or Sher-Cryl M770 should be used
  • In all instances for subsequent re-decoration, use Firetex M71V2, Acrolon C137V2, Acrolon C237, Acrolon A7300 or Sher-Cryl M770 as appropriate

 

Please consult Rawlins technical 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] for detailed information.



Surface Preparation


  • Firetex FX2007 is designed for use over a suitably prepared and primed substrate
  • Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean, dry and free from all surface contamination
  • Under certain circumstances it may be possible to apply Firetex FX2007 directly to steel blast cleaned to a minimum standard of Sa2½ BS EN ISO 8501-1:2007, surface profile in the range 50-100 microns. Consult Rawlins Technical for further details



Application Equipment


Airless Spray

  • Nozzle Size : 15 – 25 thou ( 0.38 – 0.63mm ) depending on application requirements
  • Fan Angle : 30°
  • Operating Pressure : 210kg/cm² (3000 psi)

  • The details of airless spray tip orifice size, fan angle and pressure are given as a guide
  • Smaller fan angles should be used where the size of the work to be sprayed makes this appropriate
  • It may be found that slight variation in tip orifice size or pressure will provide optimum atomisation in some circumstances
  • In general, the operating pressure should be the lowest possible consistent with satisfactory atomisation

Recommended Equipment

  • Use 56:1 or 68:1 Graco King or equivalent Use 3/8” (9.53mm) ID fluid lines where lengths in excess of 3 metres are required. In-line gun or pump filters should not normally be used Maximum length of fluid line should not exceed 60 metres
  • For use on narrow web sections, the smallest tip recommended is a 21 thou (0.53mm ) with a 60 mesh pump filter



Application Conditions & Overcoating


  • This material should preferably be applied at temperatures in excess of 5ºC
  • In conditions of high relative humidity, ie 80-85% good ventilation conditions are essential
  • Substrate temperature shall be at least 3ºC above the dew point and always above 0°C
  • The application of Firetex FX2007 at elevated temperatures may reduce the sag resistance of the product
  • It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine what thickness of material can successfully be applied at the prevailing ambient temperature
  • The material must be protected from moisture during the drying period
  • Moisture ingress prior to drying may affect the integrity and fire protective properties of the coating
  • No more than 2 coats by airless spray should be applied within any 24 hour period
  • If the maximum recommended thickness per coat is exceeded or high film thicknesses are overcoated prematurely, cracking may occur

Firetex FX2007 is capable of withstanding external exposure without topcoat providing:

  • The product is allowed to dry for at least 24 hours at 15°C in dry conditions with good air movement and ventilation
  • These conditions are based on a total dry film thickness of up to 800 microns
  • The drying time required will be increased if the film thickness is greater than 800 microns
  • The substrate temperature is at least 3°C above the dew point at the time of application and during the drying period



Additional Notes


  • Maximum service temperature is 70°C. At temperatures greater than 40°C thermoplasticity may be observed

Dry Film Thickness Measurement

All DFT specifications quoted are mean values, measurements should be taken for I-Sections to the following recommendations:

  • Web – 2 per 100cm length
  • Flange – (upper, lower, inside and outside) – 1 per 100cm length
  • High dft’s and/or reduced temperatures will extend the drying time and hence the period when dft measurement can be carried out accurately

For further information refer to Rawlins technical 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected]

Maintenance

  • Small areas of mechanical damage can be repaired using Firetex M72, FX1007 or FX2007 as preferred
  • Larger areas of mechanical damage should be repaired using Firetex FX1007 or FX2007 as preferred, applied by brush or spray
  • All repairs should then have the original topcoat reinstated by brush or spray as required
  • Numerical values quoted for physical data may vary slightly from batch to batch

Maximum Allowable Dry Film Thickness

The values stated below are the maximum allowable measured mean dry film thicknesses for this product. If measured mean thicknesses are in excess of these values, measures need to be taken to reduce the measured thickness to below the maximum allowed:

  • 3 sided I beam: 1,310μm (51.8 mil)
  • 4 sided I beam: 1,310μm (51.8 mil)
  • 4 sided I column: 1,423μm (56.0 mil)
  • CHS Column: 1,448μm (57.0 mil)
  • RHS Column: 1,448μm (57.0 mil)
  • 3-sided RHS beam: 1,310μm (51.8 mil)
  • 4-sided RHS beam: 1,310μm (51.8 mil)
