Dermax FP is a fireproof coating product developed to protect combustive organic building materials against fire.
Originally developed as a safety material for homes and buildings, Dermax FP is applied to organic materials such as wood, providing a barrier that resists extremely high temperatures and blocks the fire spread action.

The picture below shows a regular 3/16” thick ordinary cardboard box protected by 2 coats of Dermax FP on the front face only. The box was exposed to the action of a propane torch for over 30 minutes. During the test, the protective coating of Dermax FP neither cracks nor allows direct contact of fire with the organic material.

Product Application
Dermax FP is a coating material formed by two parts, one in liquid form and the other in powder form. Both parts must be mixed together right before application, which is done by use of airless spray, rollers, or paintbrush. The product is applied directly to the surface of the organic material in one or two coats.
After drying, Dermax FP is covered by any regular finishing material such as wall paint, enamel, textured paint products, wallpaper, etc.

How It Works
Dermax FP provides a high temperature-resistant protective barrier on the surface of the organic material, which averages 10 mil thickness. When exposed to the action of fire, the barrier blocks direct contact between the flames and the organic substrate, retards the transference of caloric energy to the material, which occurs in a more gradual and less intense way, keeping the material from exposure to the oxygen in the air and from starting combustion.
