Its smooth paint-like finish allows architects to design using exposed steel for a decorative and aesthetic final appearance. • Provides up to 2 hours fire protection in accordance with UL 263 (ASTM E-119) and CAN/ULC-S101 • Single component • Aesthetic finish • Impact resistant • Low odor, low VOC • Outstanding application characteristics Product characteristics Finish: Flat Color: White Volume Solids: 69% Weight Solids: 71% VOC: <4 g/L ; 0.03 lb/gal Note: Product is designed for spray and brush application recommended Spreading rate per coat: Airless Spray Brush Wet mils (microns) 56.0 (1400) 18.0 (441) Dry mils (microns) 40.0 (1000) 12.0 (300) ~Coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) 28 (0.7) 92 (2.3) Theoretical coverage sq ft/gal (m2/L) @ 1 mil / 25 microns dft 1104 (27.1) Maximum sag tolerance typically 72.0 mils (1800 microns) wet by airless spray. Drying Schedule: @ 60°F/15°C @ 73°F/23°C to touch: 5 hours 3 hours to handle*: to recoat: 24 hours 6 hours *This will depend on the total thickness of FIRETEX FX5120 to be applied. No more than 2 coats by airless spray should be applied within any 24 hour period. Drying time is temperature, humidity, and film thickness dependent. Shelf Life: 10 months, unopened Store indoors at 40°F (4.5°C) to 100°F (38°C). reducer/Clean Up: Water continued on back recommended uses • For use on exposed structural steel that requires an aesthetic finish • Commercial buildings • Healthcare / Hospitals • Hotels • Educational buildings • Stadiums • Iconic structures • Public buildings • Airports • Atriums • Warehouses • School gymnasiums • Convention centers aPProvals • Provides Up To 2 Hours Fire Protection in Accordance With UL 263 (ASTM E-119) and CAN/ULC-S101 • UL D981 Beam Design • UL N636 Beam Design • UL Y623 Column Design • UL Y624 Tube Column Design Performance characteristics test Name test Method results Abrasion resistance ASTM D4060 290 mg loss Adhesion ASTM D4541-09 540 psi Durometer Hardness ASTM D2240-05 Shore D - 70 impact resistance ASTM D2794-93 104 in. lbs. Surface Burning ASTM E84 Class A Flame Spread - 0 Smoke Developed - 5 aPPlication equiPment The following is a guide. Changes in pressures and tip sizes may be needed for proper spray characteristics. Always purge spray equipment before use with listed reducer. Any reduction must be compliant with existing VOC regulations and compatible with the existing environmental and application conditions. Airless Spray Nozzle Size: ......................19-23 (depending on application requirements) Operating Pressure: ..........2500 psi (175 kg/cm²) Use 3/8” ID fluid line where lengths in excess of 10 feet are required. In-line gun or pump filters should not normally be used. Brush The material is suitable for brush application but due to the nature of the material a ribbed appearance will result. Application of more than one coat may be necessary to give equivalent dry film thickness to a single spray applied coat. 09/24/14 Revised: April 29, 2014 FIRETEX FX5120 WATERBASED INTUMESCENT COATING B59W5120 WhITE Protective & Marine Coatings www.sherwin-williams.com/protective surface PreParation Surface must be clean, dry, and in sound condition. Remove all oil, dust, grease, dirt, loose rust, and other foreign material to ensure adequate adhesion. aPPlication conditions Firetex Fx5120 must be applied in a dry internal environ- ment. it must not be exposed to condensation, damp or wet conditions during or after application. In conditions of high relative humidity good ventilation conditions are essential. Substrate temperature should be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. At application temperatures below 50°F (10°C), drying times will be significantly extended, and spraying characteristics may be impaired. A minimum air and substrate temperature of 40°F (5°C) is required to ensure proper film formation. relative humidity should not exceed 80% to ensure proper film formation. extended overcoating times may be required at low tempera- tures and/or high film thicknesses. Occasionally cracking may occur on edges of flanges and external or internal angles of structural steel, depending on geometry, over- application and ambient conditions. This does not detrimentally affect the fire performance properties of the product. ordering information Packaging: 5 gallon (20L) containers Weight: 11.6 lb/gal ; 1.39 Kg/L disclaimer The information and recommendations set forth in this Product Data Sheet are based upon tests conducted by or on behalf of The Sherwin-Williams Company.

Lack of air movement also slows down the drying process, and under such conditions it is advisable to introduce some method of circulating air over the coated surface in order to speed up the drying. A ventilated air speed of 6 feet per second is recommended. clean uP instructions Clean spills and spatters immediately with Water. Clean tools immediately after use with Water.
