Novatherm 1FR is a transparent, water-based fire retardant paint for load-bearing wood structures and for surface layers.
During a fire, wood undergoes a charring process that reduces the structure’s load-bearing capacity. To delay this process, the structure can be fireproof painted with Novatherm 1FR. With Novatherm 1FR, we can achieve Fire Ratings R30-R60. The amount of paint required depends on the dimensions of the structure and the degree of load utilization of the column or beam.
The correct amount of paint is determined from our sizing tables for load-bearing wood structures.
It is also used indoors on wood-based substrates with a minimum thickness of 8 mm, for B-s1,d0, and on substrates in Euroclasses A1 or A2-s1,d0 with a minimum thickness of 6 mm and density >338 kg/m³.
Novatherm 1FR should always be used together with Top 1FR Eco. The correct amount of paint is determined from our sizing tables for load-bearing wood structures.
