by The advantages of UL-classified CAFCO SprayFilm -WB 5 begin with increased Thermal Performance. CAFCO SprayFilm -WB 5 is the most technologically advanced, UL-classified, water-based, thin-film intumescent coating for steel ever created. Compared to other water-based intumescent coatings, SprayFilm -WB 5 requires significantly reduced Dry Film Thicknesses (DFTs) to achieve hourly ratings. This one breakthrough leads to a number of major benefits.
Since it requires less thickness (often times far less depending on type and hourly rating) to achieve the fire rating, it can significantly reduce the overall installed cost of the job.
SprayFilm -WB 5 also enhances productivity on the job site. SprayFilm -WB 5 allows for greater wet-film thickness through increased hangability, meaning it can be applied in fewer coats; it also allows for more coats per day, meaning the entire job can be finished in less time.
Superior finish. Better for the environment
SprayFilm -WB 5′s thickness advantages result in an aesthetically pleasing, durable surface. It’s the only intumescent fireproofing coating with “Zero” VOCs, which is a contributing factor towards achieving LEED credits. Because SprayFilm -WB 5 requires less material, there is less waste, as well as less energy required to produce, ship and install it.
