It is recommended that the product is applied in a sheltered area or when the winds are calm to minimize any overspray.
Careful application minimizes overspray. Any over sprayed material, dispensed through the nozzle, is properly mixed and will solidify in a very short period of time. Once solidified, it becomes totally inert and will not effect the surrounding vegetation.
The product has been tested according to EPA test method 24 and contains no VOC.
The product may be re-applied after exposure to fire provided that the application surface is properly prepared. Care must be taken to remove any charred or contaminated material and loose debris with a wire brush. The surface must be free of dust before re-application.
Liquid material may be cleaned up, wearing the recommended protective gloves, using a disposable rag. Accidental spillage on tools may also be cleaned off in this manner. A more thorough cleaning may be achieved using our CLA 8030 cleanup solvent which is available for purchase.
The easiest way to dispose product is to allow it to solidify. The solid material is totally inert and safe to dispose in regular waste. Dispensing the product, through the static mix head, into a container, will allow it to solidify for disposal.
Liquid materials must be disposed in accordance with local regulations.
We recommend coverage from 2" below grade level to 4' - 5' high. It is highly recommended that the surrounding area is cleared from combustible overhang vegetation or else protection is applied at least 12" higher than highest combustible overhang near the pole.
Based on the chemistry, we project solid protection for a minimum of 5 years. The Blaze Fighter® has been under test for 2 years without any deterioration in performance.
Based on our internal testing, a burn only affects the top layer of the coating however, to be on the safe side, we recommend re-application after every burn.
Depending on the pole diameter, applied carefully to obtain an even layer, one full cartridge should be sufficient for one pole, up to 4' high. This type of protection is recommended for 1 burn only.
Although it is strongly recommended that animals are kept away from the coated structures, the fully cured (solidified) product is inert and will not effect animals if ingested.
Precautions should be taken to prevent animals from ingesting the liquid material before it solidifies.
The recommended minimum application temperature is 5oC (41oF).
Clean and dry surface are ideal.
Do not apply to water saturated surfaces.
The typical shelf life of the product in unopened, sealed cartridges is 1 year from the date of shipment.
