Roscoflamex PA Paint Additive

Roscoflamex PA is a clear, un-pigmented flame-retardant paint additive designed to convert most water-based paints into a coating that helps slow flame spread across the painted surface. Mixed directly into compatible latex, vinyl acrylic, scenic paints, primers, or acrylic glazes, it forms a protective barrier without changing the original paint colour or finish. This product is ideal for scenic, theatrical, display, and professional paint applications where a flame-retardant coating is required.

• Turns compatible water-based paints into a flame-retardant coating.
• Clear formula preserves the colour, sheen, and appearance of the original paint.
• Easy to dose with one 8 oz jar per 1 US gallon of compatible paint.
• Compatible with many latex paints, vinyl acrylic paints, scenic paints, primers, and acrylic glazes.
• Tested to ASTM E-84 Class A.
• Approved by the California Fire Marshal.

For best overall fire performance, treat the substrate itself with the appropriate Roscoflamex product whenever applicable. Roscoflamex PA should be understood as a paint additive barrier system, not a substitute for substrate treatment.

Compatible uses may include:

Always test with your specific paint system before full application.

A continuous and complete film is essential. Thin, incomplete, or uneven coatings will not provide an effective flame-retardant barrier.

• Apply using brush, roller, or sprayer according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure a uniform, continuous coating across the full surface.
• Meet the required 4 mil minimum dry-film thickness for effective performance.
• Where possible, treat the underlying substrate separately with the correct Roscoflamex product.

• ASTM E-84 Class A surface flame spread rating.
• Approved by the California Fire Marshal.

• Store in non-metallic containers whenever possible.
• If using metal spray equipment, clean thoroughly after use, including nozzles and accessories.
• Avoid storing mixed product in metal buckets or cans.

Read instructions carefully before use. Suitability depends on the paint system, substrate, film build, and application conditions. Always test first to confirm compatibility, appearance, and performance for your intended use.

• What does Roscoflamex PA do?
  It converts many compatible water-based paints into a flame-retardant surface coating.
• Does it change the colour or finish of the paint?
  No. It is clear and un-pigmented, so it is designed to preserve the original colour and sheen.
• Can it be used with metallic paints?
  No. It should not be used with metallic paints because metallic pigments may react.
• How much do I add to paint?
  Use one 8 oz jar per 1 US gallon of compatible paint.
• Is this a substitute for treating the substrate?
  No. It creates a flame-retardant paint film, but does not change the inherent flammability of the surface underneath.
