It is important to note that while Ff88® and FfA can significantly improve fire safety, they should be used as part of a comprehensive fire prevention plan that includes smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency exits. We ship our fire resistant products worldwide. Our products, Firefree 88® ("Ff88®") and Firefree Class A ("FfA"), are designed to provide a high level of fire protection, often exceeding the performance of alternative fire retardant products. Ff88® is our premier product, providing both fire retardant and fire-resistant properties. It is a non-toxic, water-based, intumescent paint that can be applied to various materials, including gypsum board, plaster, lath, concrete, metal, tin, foam, foam composite panels, and wood. FfA is a Class A coating rated by ASTM E84 for flame spread & smoke development, and it can be used on many of the same surfaces as Ff88®.

Our Milestones

Firefree 88® first gained approval in 2004 when it was tested in accordance with FM 4975 and part 1 of FM 4880. This milestone marked a major achievement in the development and recognition of our fire-resistant technology. Ff88® and FfA are designed for easy application with standard paint equipment, making them accessible for professional. The typical coverage rate for Ff88® is 100 square feet per gallon for a 10 mil thin film thickness, and for FfA, it is 200 square feet per gallon for a 6 mil thin film thickness. Drying times vary depending on environmental conditions, with Ff88® generally drying to the touch in one hour and fully curing in seven days, while FfA dries to the touch in 30 minutes and fully curing in five days.

What Customers are Saying

"“It’s a water based paint & proven in a number of different kinds of fire tests to give it a immeasurable improvement in performance. This company has done things that no other intumescent paint company has done. We’ve used 30 lb. Wood cribs in these two buildings, that’s a very severe fire shortage. There’s no intumescent paint in this building on my right at all. An identical building on my left is painted with the intumescent paint.”"

Professor Brady Williamson University of California, Berkeley

"Firefree was very accommodating and helpful with understanding the Firefree 88® product uses. The Firefree 88® product is a great alternative and more cost effective than installing a 1-hour sheetrock assembly in many cases. Firefree 88® also allows you to save time on your schedule by applying the intumescent paint."

Jonathan Kirkish, LEED AP Qualogy Construction, Inc.

“I think that the implications for survivability of victims in fires & fire travel, preservation of the property, the implications of monetary fire loss nationwide is incredible. I’ve observed the fire burning for 20 minutes, felt the outside of the wall & it was absolutely cool to the touch. As an experienced fir fighter, that is totally astounding.”

Bruce Voorhees Fire Training Officer

"I wanted to say thank you for your time & professionalism. I’ve found it to be rare to see such top-notch customer support. VERY REFRESHING!! Thank you and we’ll be sure to use your products in the future."

Matt Dickerson JE Dunn Construction

Bruce Kern Jane Smith

Joe Robinson Fire Chief, Richmond, CA.

“This product saves lives, saves money, reduces morbidity, & prevents mortality. What else could we ask for?”

Irma Anderson Vice Mayor, Richmond, CA.

“This type of product can certainly save a lot of lives & certainly cut down on a lot of claims in the insurance industry.”

Cecil Jack Hobbs Group

“This would give people extra time to get out of the building, to get out of harms way, that is really important, besides controlling property damage. Very, very, impressed with what I saw here today.”
