ALTIC FR PUTTY 010 METAL / STRUCTURE

Product Overview

ALTIC FR PUTTY 010 METAL / STRUCTURE is an advanced, thin-film, water-based fire-retardant putty formulated for structural steel, metallic surfaces, and walls. Developed by UGAM TECHNOLOGY, an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified company, it provides exceptional fire resistance and surface protection. The product is tested and certified for 120 minutes (2 hours) of fire rating by the National Test House, Ghaziabad, under IS 14856-2000 standards.

This innovative coating combines safety, durability, and performance, offering robust defense against flame spread, heat transfer, and structural degradation caused by fire exposure.

How It Works

ALTIC FR PUTTY 010 is based on intumescent coating technology, which activates when exposed to high temperatures (around 200°C). Upon heating, the coating expands to form a thick, insulating char layer that performs the following functions:

1. Thermal Insulation: Prevents heat transfer to the substrate, keeping the steel temperature below critical failure points.

2. Oxygen Barrier: The char layer blocks oxygen supply, suppressing combustion.

3. Non-Conductive Protection: Minimizes heat conduction across surfaces.

4. Smoke and Flame Suppression: Reduces smoke and toxic emissions, ensuring safer evacuation during fire incidents.

This reactive insulation mechanism effectively slows down the fire spread, giving occupants and responders valuable time to manage emergencies.

Application Process

1. Surface Preparation

• Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from rust, grease, or contaminants.

• For metal surfaces, apply ALTIC FR Primer (solvent-based) for better adhesion.

• For cement walls, use ALTIC FR Primer (water-based).

2. Putty Application

• Apply two coats of ALTIC FR PUTTY 010 with a four-hour interval between coats.

• Maintain a uniform layer thickness for consistent fire resistance.

• For humid or high-moisture environments, apply two coats of ALTIC FR Topcoat to extend coating life and surface durability.

3. Equipment Settings (Airless Spray Recommended):

• Tip Size: 75–100

• Pressure: 4000 psi

• Fan Angle: 50°–70°

• Hose Diameter: 40 mm

• Max Hose Length: 100 meters

4. Overcoating Times:
Depending on temperature and humidity:

• Thin Coat (0.3 mm WFT): 4–8 hours

• Medium Coat (0.6 mm WFT): 6–12 hours

• Thick Coat (1.2 mm WFT): 10–18 hours
  Ensure the previous layer is fully dry before re-coating.

Storage & Handling

• Store between +5°C to +30°C in sealed containers.

• Avoid freezing or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

• Shelf life: 12 months under standard storage conditions.

Maintenance

If the surface is damaged:

1. Sand or abrade to expose a clean, solid base.

2. Remove any loose particles.

3. Reapply ALTIC FR PUTTY 010 and allow complete drying before recoating or top coating.
