Thermoguard Safewood Satinwood Anti-Viral Paint is a decorative and protective tintable paint finish applied over Safewood systems and Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat. For the clear varnish version please see Satinwood Anti-Viral Varnish.

The Safewood system protects wood and wood-based boards.

4,000+ colours available from RAL, BS, NCS  and Thermoguard Select with LRV.

Safewood Satinwood is an effective anti-viral coating with the added benefit that it can be used over Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat to achieve Class B s2 d0 over existing multiple layers of abraded previously varnished wood and wood derivatives.

Unless protected with a treatment to kill enveloped Coronaviruses, flu and bacteria, hand contact with doors, frames, window sills and other wood create a potential infection risk.

Coronaviruses and bacteria remain contagious for weeks on hard surfaces like painted, varnished or stained wood. Safewood Satinwood destroys the casing on “enveloped” viruses leading to rapid disintegration, disrupts the breeding and causes disintegration of bacteria.

Microbial Protection to ISO 22196 & ISO 21702.

LRV Explained

What is LRV?

Light Reflectance Value is the acronym referring to the lightness and darkness of colours, running on a scale from 0% to 100% that increases with the light in a colour.

LRV is commonly confused with "intensity", which actually refers to how vivid or dull a colour is.

Why is LRV important?

LRV is vital for contractors and designers working with care homes, hospitals and other healthcare facilities used by patients suffering from colour blindness, visual impairments or dementia. Using colours that are distinct from another will help aid navigation and can improve mood.

Using clear and high level contrasting colours will help patients distinguish between walls and ceilings, seating, doors and other surfaces. The best way to measure contrast is with the LRV, with at least 30 point difference between colours on adjoining surfaces, helping meet legal requirements of the Equality Act 2010.

Fire & Anti-Microbial Test Performance

Fire Test Standards in UKAS and EOTA - accredited Fire Test laboratory

• BS EN Class B s2 d0 (old Class 0 compliant) on wood and wood-based boards over Fire Varnish Basecoat

Microbial Test

Surfaces coated with Safewalls Satinwood are designated Anti-Viral in just 2 hrs.

• 93.4% Coronavirus reduction in 2hrs to approved test ISO 21702*
• 99% bacteria reduction in 4hours to approved test ISO 22196*

*In approved UK Microbiology Laboratories

Application

Fire Protection and Decoration For Internal Wood

• To achieve Class B s2 d0:
  
  • 1 coat 2K Fire Varnish Basecoat
  • 1 or 2 coats of Safewood Satinwood*

*For virus and bacteria protection apply 2 coats

For Microbial Protection Only

• 2 coats of Safewood Satinwood

Preparation & Application

• Surfaces should be sound and firmly adhering, clean, dry and free of surface contamination
• Remove loose, flaking or suspect paint films.
• Abrade old smooth or hard coatings with 120 grit for a key
• Clean to remove dirt, grease and any wax
• For paint colours treat knots with shellac-free sealer by brush, dense short-pile “glossing” roller or spray
• Use a woven short pile roller sleeve or synthetic brush at rate stated on can
• Maintain wet edge during application
• Clean equipment with white spirit

Application Conditions

• Do not apply in temperatures under 5°C or above 30°C
• Conditions Maximum relative Humidity below 75%
• Wood should be fully dry
• Surface should be at least 3°C above the dew point

Drying Times

• In normal conditions product will be touch dry in 6 hours and recoatable in 12 hours

How It Works

Fire Varnish Basecoat expands in a fire, creating a fire protective barrier, insulating wood materials from flames, heat and oxygen to prevent  flamespread & fire penetration.

Safewood Satinwood controls toxic smoke and flaming particles.

New EU/BS EN Fire Standards Explained

• BS EN Class B replaces Class 0
• Today both Class 0 and Class B comply for escape routes, but Class 0 is being phased out
• New BS EN also protects from toxic smoke – safe ones are s1 and s2
• New BS EN also protects from flaming droplets – safest d0
• New compliant standards for corridors, stairs, lobbies are BS EN Class B s1 d0 and Class B s2 d0
