NoFire® A18 combines advanced fire protection technology with decades of proven performance to deliver industry-leading passive fire protection for residential, commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure applications worldwide.

Designed to protect lives, assets, and business continuity, NoFire® A18 is a one-component, water-based, Class-A and UL-certified intumescent fire-retardant coating that remains passive until exposed to extreme heat. When temperatures exceed 200°C (400°F), the coating rapidly expands to form a thick insulating char layer that shields the underlying substrate, significantly slowing fire propagation and reducing heat transfer, even at temperatures exceeding 1093°C (2000°F).

Environmentally friendly, non-toxic, low smoke, and easy to apply, NoFire® A18 provides long-lasting fire protection across a wide range of substrates including wood, steel, concrete, composites, gypsum board, electrical components, and structural assemblies. As fire safety regulations continue to evolve, NoFire® A18 remains a trusted solution for protecting today's most valuable infrastructure and tomorrow's most critical developments.

RECOMMENDED USAGE

• Passive Fire Protection
  Fire Propagation Control
  Structural Fire Resistance
  Protection of Critical Infrastructure
  Electrical Fire Protection
  Asset Preservation
  Life Safety Enhancement
  Smoke Reduction

NoFire® A18 is formulated to maximize the benefits of intumescent fire protection technology. Its rapid expansion under heat creates an insulating barrier that delays fire spread, protects structural components, and provides valuable time for evacuation and emergency response.

Unlike conventional paints that contribute fuel to a fire, NoFire® A18 actively resists combustion while maintaining excellent adhesion and durability. Its versatility allows it to be applied across numerous industries where fire protection is essential, providing customized solutions for buildings, utilities, transportation, energy facilities, and industrial operations.
