Master FX Master Flame Class A Fire Retardant for Wood & Fabric, 1 Gallon

Prompt delivery and exactly what I wanted.

This is used in a haunted attraction and because this was the first time that we had used this stuff, I only bought a gallon of it to see if I would like it. It is an amazing product and extremely versatile. We have mixed it in latex paint as well as used an air gun and sprayed it on untreated/unpainted woods surfaces. It does its job and is super easy to work with. The company is great to work with as well.

I bought this to mix with paint to paint my exposed basement posts, beams, and joists. I mixed a full gallon of this with a little less than a gallon of latex paint. I did a couple tests on some scrap boards first, and it didn't work when I first tried it, but I missed the part about waiting 24 hours. Tried it again the next day and board turned a little brown, but would not burn and hardly even smoked. This seems to work exactly as described and is way better than nothing. I used a small foam roller to apply this to the exposed wood in my basement, to give it a nicer finished look, while adding fire protection without having to wrap everything in a bunch of drywall. This product makes the paint super thin and watery, and it drips EVERYWHERE, so I ended up masking things off almost as much as i would have if spraying. Also, because of how thin it is, it takes many many coats to achieve a uniform opaque color. I think I did 5 coats before I couldn't see the old paint colors where some of the wood had been painted decades ago. This product also separates from paint really easily, so you have to keep mixing it throughout your project if using very much. It probably separates as much as 90% after sitting for just an hour, and after being left overnight I could probably pour the Master Flame back into the bottle, leaving the paint behind. I'm glad i found this product as it's saving me from having to wrap things in metal or drywall, and gave me justification for painting the entire basement ceiling (instead of just the areas that were previously painted blue, green, or cream. I used up the first jug and just bought another, I'll probably need a 3rd to finish the entire project, it's an 1100sf basement with 100 year old wood that sucks up the first 2 coats of paint. I took 1 star off for how thin it makes the paint and how quickly it separates. It would be nice if they had a thickening agent you could add or they could get it to bond with the paint.

Did a test on an old piece of wood. It seems to really work. Remember it is a fire retardant not fire proof

Flame tested and this product is great. Sprayed with HVLP gun on seat material and wool product. Will not burn even with constant fire by blowtorch.

Couldn’t be easier to apply, covers a lot of area thoroughly. Haven’t tested its fire resistance however. Appreciate that the chemicals don’t seem particularly dangerous to work with.

Can't speak to flame retardent effectiveness but drip areas or places where liquid collects dry bright white left white spots on plywood where large droplets dried probably best to apply thin coats on flat laying surfaces.

We spray it on and let it dry. Flip them over rand spray the other side and let it dry. They are a little stiff when we are done but loosen up after a while. Don't know if it works, we haven't had a fire. I guess this is a good thing. The video that shows the testing of the product was impressive. We document the use of the product so it can be showen to the fire Marshall or life safety inspector.

Thank you for this excellent product. It is very light and easy to apply, and the wood absorbed it completely without leaving any residue. The material was tested using the ignitability test according to BS EN ISO 11925-2:2020, and it performed very well.
