IFTI's water-based intumescent coating for spray polyurethane foam — the fire protective coating that lets tested foam assemblies stay exposed without a plasterboard thermal barrier.

The jobs this product is specified for, day in day out.
Where insulation is left visible and needs fire protection.
Large exposed foam areas in occupied commercial buildings.
Installations being signed off against a specific fire test report.
What the data sheet actually gives you on site.
ASTM E84 flame spread 0, smoke developed 10 — the headline numbers for exposed foam.
ICC-ESR 3702, UL File R40016 and CCMC listings behind it, not marketing claims.
Full-room corner testing over the major open- and closed-cell foams.
Fire performance verified as uncompromised after accelerated 50-year ageing.
The facts that matter, straight from the product data.
| Type | Single-component, water-based intumescent coating for SPF |
| Fire performance | ASTM E84 flame spread 0 / smoke 10; NFPA 286 passed over major open- and closed-cell foams; EN 13501-1 B-s2-d0 |
| Approvals | ICC-ESR 3702, ICC-ESL 1577, UL File R40016 (NFPA 285), QAI listed |
| Coverage | Approx. 2.8 m² per litre at 0.36 mm WFT (14 mil) — required thickness depends on the tested assembly and report |
| Application | Airless spray (recommended), brush or roller; foam must cure and cool at least 1 hour first; max 0.61 mm WFT per coat |
| Cure | Touch dry 1–2 h; recoat 4–8 h at 25 °C / 50% RH; do not apply below 10 °C |
| Colours / packs | White, Ice Grey, Charcoal Black — 18.9 L (5 US gal) pails and 208 L (55 US gal) drums |
| VOC / life | ≤18.6 g/L; fire performance verified unaffected after 50 years of tested life |

Ideal for coating over new or existing spray foam insulation to improve resistance to fire:
Brush Application: May result in ribbed appearance; multiple coats often required to achieve equivalent dry film thickness (DFT).
| Wet Film Thickness (WFT) | Sq. Ft./Gallon | Sq. Ft./5 Gallon |
| 4 mils | 400 sq. ft. | 2,000 sq. ft. |
| 14 mils | 115 sq. ft. | 575 sq. ft. |
| 20 mils | 80 sq. ft. | 400 sq. ft. |
| 24 mils | 67 sq. ft. | 335 sq. ft. |
Standard Application WFT: 0.7mm (approx. 27.5 mils) – may require 2 coats
Recommended Build: Use wet film gauge and medallions for QA/QC
