Application

Suitable for interior use and is designed to maintain or improve flame retardancy of previously painted walls and ceilings, and on substrates such as plasterboard, plaster, cement render and blockwork.

Description

Dulux Trade Pyroshield Eggshell is a durable, mid-sheen finish with a formulation that inhibits the spread of flame on multi-layered previously painted wall and ceiling surfaces.


Dulux Trade Pyroshield is ideal for use in communal areas of public buildings, where reducing fire risk is a priority.


The water-based flame retardant product tested to BS 476, parts 6 and 7, upgrades substrates of fire classification from Class 3 to Class 0 (when applied in accordance with manufacturer's instructions).


Available in a wide range of colours, Eggshell is suitable for all pre-painted, plaster-based interior wall and ceiling surfaces, and especially for high traffic areas in residential and non-residential buildings, owing to its good scuff resistance and washable, stain resistant finish.


Features and benefits:

  • Flame retardant.
  • Highly durable smooth finish.
  • Water-based.
  • Scuff and Stain resistant.


Please note:

  • Pyroshield provides a substrate upgrade to meet BS476 and not any EN standards.
  • All sales of Pyroshield must be to Professional appliers.
  • All sales must be linked to a valid Specification number.
  • New and Current / old ranges cannot be mixed.


Two coats of Pyroshield Eggshell are required at a coverage of 10m² per litre (this equates to one coat at a wet film thickness of 100 microns). Do not thin.


For sealed surfaces it is recommended that the substrate is abraded before application to provide a ‘key’ (please refer to the Technical Data Sheet).


Over some (sealed) surfaces it may not be possible to achieve the recommended spreading rate on the first coat, and more than two coats may be required to achieve sufficient film build.
