Intumescent Coatings to Open New Markets for Spray-Applied Polyurethane Foam Contractors

Corbond Corporation of Bozeman, MT is very pleased to announce that it will be distributing the Fireshell® line of intumescent coatings manufactured by TPR2 Corporation of Waterbury CT. These ultra thin film coatings can offer a significant cost savings over traditional thermal and ignition barriers without sacrificing occupant safety. Geoffrey Stephenson, National Sales Manager for Corbond Corporation states that “safety is the most important factor in construction and by offering the intumescent coatings manufactured by TPR2 it will open new markets for SPF contractors to cost effectively provide the energy saving benefit of SPF insulation.”

TPR2® developed Fireshell® F1E as an ignition barrier and has passed the new AC 377 on both open and closed cell foam. In addition to F1E being an ignition and vapor barrier, it is the only exterior grade product rated for the ICC Urban-Wildland Interface Code. Fireshell® F10E complies with Section 803.2.1 of the International Building Code, which means after coating with Fireshell® F10E, foam can be left exposed without the need for a prescribed thermal barrier. Both products are single component, have low VOCs and are latex based so clean up is easy.
