FEATURE-RICH Products Like No Other Intumescent Coating

Contego reactive fire barrier coatings have two formulations: Original and High Solids. Both formulations of our intumescent coating meet or exceed code requirements by providing an exceptionally effective fire barrier and do it using an amazingly thin coat that translates into an impressively low cost per square foot. Contego intumescent products are easy to apply, water-based for easy clean-up, and fast curing. It is mold and bacteria resistant, safe for food preparation areas and not harmful to people or pets.

Other features include:

Completely non-toxic.
No elaborate preparation.
Shelf life limitation is 24 months when stored properly.
Backed by a two-year warranty.
The coating does not discolor, crack or fall off over time.
Protects wood, concrete, drywall, structural steel, aluminum, and polyurethane insulation.

Contego Reactive Fire Barrier Original Formula Intumescent (RFB)

Contego RFB is a full-bodied latex, single component coating designed to protect a wide range of building materials including structural steel, aluminum, dimensional lumber, manufactured wood products, trusses, drywall, spray polyurethane foam insulation, HDPE wall panels, concrete, plaster, solid core doors, and more.

Contego’s ORIGINAL FORMULA (58 – 60% solids) creates an extremely smooth protective finish. Unlike our HIGH SOLIDS variant it can be applied with a brush, roller, mitt, or sprayer.

Exceptional protection from heat and fire.

Smooth, thin, architectural grade finish.
Extremely smooth finish.
Non-toxic, non-dermatic, and non-carcinogenic latex.
Economically priced.
Fast drying and curing times.
Can be pre-applied to steel and other materials during fabrication and is easy to repair.
No special equipment is required. Apply with brush, roller, mitt, or standard sprayer.
Interior Use.
Cleans up with soap and water.
Shelf life limitation 24 months.

*ORIGINAL FORMULA’s chemical signature is identical to the High Solids (“HS”) variant and can be used interchangeably. However, it contains less volume solids (58% by volume; 60% by weight) than the HS variant.

Contego Reactive High Solids Fire Barrier Intumescent (RFB)

Contego RFB is a full-bodied latex, single component coating designed to protect a wide range of building materials including structural steel, aluminum, dimensional lumber, manufactured wood products, trusses, drywall, spray polyurethane foam insulation, HDPE wall panels, concrete, plaster, solid core doors and more.

“HS” (High Solids) provides an alternative to Contego’s ORIGINAL FORMULA product. At 72% solids, the HS variant requires one-half to perhaps one-third as many coats… think of the savings in labor costs and time! It must be applied with a spray gun with 1+ gpm, 3,300 psi (216 Kg/cmC) or greater with an 0.025″ (0.62mm) tip or larger.

Either way, using our Original Formula or our HS alternative, you get exceptional protection from heat and fire.

Smooth, thin, architectural grade finish.
Big Plus – with HS apply one-half to one-third as many coats for the same coverage.
Non-toxic, non-dermatic, and non-carcinogenic latex.
Economically priced.
Fast drying and curing times.
Can be pre-applied to steel and other materials during fabrication and is easy to repair.
Designed specifically for sprayer application.
Interior or exterior application (Contact Contego Team for exterior grade top coat lists for exterior applications).
Cleans up with soap and water.
No shelf life limitations and does not need to be periodically reapplied.

Contego RUSTEX 710 Metal Primer HS Low VOC

A high performance, universal anti-corrosive primer with excellent adhesion, hardness, durability, and corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance will surpass in excess of 1000 hours of cyclic corrosion testing using ASTM D 5894 Salt Fog/UV Exposure testing methods.

High solids content of this coating permits extremely economical use at low film builds, while at the same time enabling higher film builds to achieve coverage over aggressive surface profiles.

Formulated for fast dry times with exceptional low temperature curing even during winter conditions.

This primer meets the requirements of CISC/CPMA STD. 1-73A and MPI 76. and is VOC compliant for non-shop use.
