Thatch Fire Guard is a ready-mixed, flame-retardant solution designed to slow down the spread of fire and prevent afterglow on treated materials. The product is non-toxic, odourless, and easy to apply, requiring no dilution and providing immediate protection upon application.
Thatch Fire Guard does not make materials fireproof; instead, it causes surfaces to char on contact with flame, effectively limiting flame spread and reducing fire risk. It dries clear and does not stain treated surfaces.
Application Areas:
- Interior and exterior applications
