Fire retardant formula and method of use
A fire prevention coating formula is applied to surfaces in order to reduce and prevent the spread of fires across the applied surfaces. The homogeneous coating mixture is applied to surfaces through spraying or painting means. When heated, the fire prevention coating formula forms a thick, stable, passivating oxide layer protecting the surface from further reaction.
