FGI
– 7000 Fire Protection Coating Unique
Coatings – Extreme Results Description
FGI - 7000 is an extremely unique ultimate
performance fire protection, chemical resistant, corrosion protection
coating. An epoxy resin polyamide coating especially developed to withstand
extreme fire temperatures, corrosive and abrasive conditions which quickly
destroy conventional type protective paint coatings. The fire, chemical,
abrasion and undercreep resistance characteristics of this product have
proven so outstanding that it is considered to provide the most fire
protection and also be the least expensive method for fire protection. FGI - 7000
is designed for adhering to almost any clean surface including: aluminum,
wood, metals of all types, plastic, brick, glass, and transites. FGI-7000 can
be used to coat cloth fabric making it highly fire resistant. When the fire
touches the coating, the coating will add nothing to the combustion and will
self-extinguish the fire in seconds, preventing it from spreading. The few surfaces
FGI-7000 is not recommended for are Teflon, high-plasticized vinyls,
polyethylene, and silicone rubber. FGI-7000
has excellent anti-corrosion qualities and hardness. Outdoor durability and color stability is
excellent. FGI-7000 is extremely Weather, UV, Chemical, Salt, and Abrasion
resistant providing for an unsurpassed durable wear surface with superior
adhesion properties that promotes a nearly indestructible coating surface. FGI
- 7000 requires little surface preparation thus reducing the time, labor and
the TOTAL cost of your project. ASTM Test ASTM B117 500 hour Salt

Typical Applications: Marine environments; fire
protection for fabric, cloth, foam, building, electrical, marine, structural
steel, automobiles, tanks, pipes, industrial and farm equipment, concrete
floors and walls, decks, stairs, steps, railings, walls and ceilings of
subways and any metal surface. Application Methods FGI - 7000 may be applied by brush, roller, spray or
dipping. Surfaces
should be free of loose rust, mill scale, paint, grease, oil and of any other
film-forming foreign material. An
example of the prep work needed is to water blast with high-pressure (3,000
psi MIN) water to thoroughly clean off all debris, dirt, and other
contaminates. The result shall be to have a clean tight substrate. Optimum
results are obtained if the surface is dry although entirely satisfactory
protection is obtained if the surface is damp and/or wet. Surplus water
should be removed to prevent excessive bubbling of the coating. MIXING: Thoroughly mix (3 to 1 ratio) BASE (part "B") with ACTIVATOR
(part "A") for 5 minutes with a power mixer until all streaks
and/or lumps disappear and the mixture has uniform color and
consistency. Be sure to allow mixing
blade to rub on sides and bottom of container to recombine any settling. Allow to stand (or ingest) for one hour
before adding thinner or application. Use of thinner increases possibility of
sag and reduces dry film thickness. Thinner also retards cure time. For best
results, use just as it comes from the can. If surface to be coated has chlorine ions, these must be
neutralized with Chlor-Rid mixed into the pressure wash water. This is a rare
occurrence but usually occurs around salt water. Chlorine ion test will
verify. Any overspray and equipment must be cleaned immediately
with acetone, toluene, xylene, or MEK. FGI-7000 is 90% solids. Approx.Pot Life: 4 to 6 hours at
80 F. Drying time 1 to 2 hours at 80 F. Curing time: Initial: 8 hours at 80
F, Complete: 3 days at 80 F. Milleage is dependant upon application.
Example: Apply 3.3 mils (.003 inches or 0.083 mm) wet to achieve a final dry
mil thickness of 3 mils (0.003 inches or 0.076 mm). FGI-7000 will cover
approximately 480 square feet (44.6 sq meters) per gallon at 3 mils
thickness. If second coat is needed wait till first coat is tacky dry,
usually one to two hours in 80 F, The second coat may be applied at 2.2 mils
(0.00220 inches or 0.056 mm) wet to achieve a dry mil thickness of 2 mils
(0.002 inches or 0.050 mm). This second coat will cover any voids in the
surface due to a very rough surface. Max of 12 mils (0.012 inches or 0.3 mm)
can be applied per coat without runs if necessary. Cloth Fabric: 2 to 3 mils
dry for fire protection. Use in well ventilated area; if not possible, use a NIOSH approved
self contained breathing apparatus or vapor filters on a mask. Protective
gloves and safety glasses must be worn at all times. Only very high abrasion
will remove the coating. Caution: With the extreme adhesion characteristics
of this product all safety procedures must be followed. Customers should consult FGI on all special requirement
installations. Storage Stability & Shelf Life
The shelf life of FGI-7000 is one year when stored in
original, unopened container. Store cans in a well ventilated and covered
area away from extreme heat and moisture. Please contact your FGI
