  • No need to chip away at fireproofing to install hangars.

  • Can be topcoated for an attractive finish that matches surroundings.

  • Fast drying time — Can have hangars installed on it after 24 hours.

  • Low VOC, Odorless, and Green.

  • Applied by a commercial grade airless sprayer with minimal disruption to other trades.


Steel/Wood Construction

The diversity of the FireGuard E-84 product also allows us to provide ratings on structures and assemblies with mixed compositions of wood, gypsum, and steel.

Patches for Cementitious Fireproofing

FireGuard E-84 has also tested successfully as a patch material for old-style cementious material that has been chipped or scraped off.

These applications take as long as applying a few coats of paint, and cause minimal disruption to existing businesses.
