Be sure surface is clean and dry before treating. Apply with sprayer head held at 8 to 12 inches from surface. Be sure to allow drying between each coat. |
Apply three (3) coats at 1050 sq. ft. per gallon with the final coverage rate of 350 sq. ft. per gallon |
EXTERIOR / INTERIOR All surfaces to be treated must be clean and dry. Fire Poly FPCC is water based, clear liquid that becomes insoluble when dry. If over-coating is intended, Fire Poly FPCC is an excellent primer for use under or over latex paints. Avoid wasteful runs and dripping. It should be noted that unlike some products, materials treated with Fire Poly FPCC require no special cutting tools or special fasteners. Contact parts of any equipment should be stainless steel or plastic to prevent chemical reaction and breakdown. Storage may be done in polyethylene containers. |

CAUTION:
Product must not freeze. It must not be thinned or diluted.
OVERSPRAY:
The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water. A rag wetted with bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE:
Airless Equipment.
1. Run clear water through the system until coating is flushed out. When minor sudsing on surface stops, the system is flushed.
2. Run bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts) through system as solvent for cleaning any residue.
3. Repeat Step 1 if any foaming occurs in Step 2.
4. Lubricate system as specified by equipment manufacturer to combat rusting.
If two or more applications are planned in the same day, the sprayer can be kept clean by running water through the system between applications.
Brushes/Rollers.
1. Clean immediately after use.
2. Wash thoroughly with bleach and water mix (1 part to 4 parts).
SAFETY FIRST
Use approved safety devices (ropes, belts, ridge hooks, ladder, etc.) When working on steep or high areas. Take EXTREME CARE not to step on wet treated area. Surface may be slick until dry.
It is good practice to wear respirator or mask and protect hands with rubber gloves when spraying any coating or chemical. When engineered air control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for solvent vapors. A dusk mask does not provide protection against vapors.
If eye contact occurs, flood with water for fifteen (15) minutes and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
