Can Orac products be treated with fire retardant paint?

Yes, Orac Decor products can be painted with fire retardant paint to improve their fire resistance and meet specific fire safety standards, particularly in public or commercial spaces. Here are the key points to consider:


Compatibility of Orac Decor products with fire retardant paints

  1. Suitable materials:

    • Materials such as Purotouch® (high density polyurethane) and Duropolymer® (high density polymer) are compatible with fire retardant paints.
    • Durofoam® , being a lighter material, can also be treated, but it is essential to check the specificity of the paint for this type of surface.
  2. Prepared surface:

    • Orac products are supplied with a primer finish. Before applying a fire retardant paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry and dust free.

Type of fire retardant paint to use

  • Use fire retardant paints specific to polymer materials. These paints create a thermal barrier that slows the spread of fire.
  • Check that the paint you select complies with the fire safety standards in your area, such as:
    • M1 classification (in France) for non-flammable materials.
    • Classification B-s2,d0 according to European standard EN 13501-1.

Application procedure

  1. Preparation :
    • Clean surfaces thoroughly.
    • Sand lightly if necessary to improve adhesion.
  2. Application :
    • Apply the fire retardant paint according to the manufacturer's instructions (number of coats, recommended thickness).
    • Use a brush, roller or spray gun depending on preference.
  3. Drying :
    • Respect the drying times to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Important recommendations

  • Prior consultation : Check with the paint manufacturer that the product is compatible with Orac Decor materials.
  • Local standards : Ensure that the treatment meets local fire safety regulations.
  • Test Samples : Test a small area to check adhesion and finish before applying paint to a large area.

With suitable fire retardant paint, Orac Decor products can be integrated into projects requiring a high level of fire safety, whilst maintaining their aesthetics and ease of installation.
