B6-182

Non-toxic, high-performance fire-resistant coating

B6-182 is a patented, water-based intumescent coating engineered to protect wood, cardboard, textiles, leather, foam and primed metals from extreme heat and direct flame. Free of PFAS, halogens and toxic additives, it provides advanced thermal protection without compromising human or environmental safety.

B6-182 coating demonstration

Key properties

  • Intumescent expansion under extreme temperature
  • Thermal blocking with controlled ablation
  • Water-based, low odor, low VOC
  • Adheres to porous substrates and primed metals
  • Safe during application, service life, flame exposure and disposal
  • No PFAS, no halogens, no mutagenic combustion products

Scientific validation

  • Propane torch: opposite surface ≤ 38 °C at 8 mm thickness
  • Oxy-acetylene: molten steel does not penetrate coating
  • Textile and leather tests show zero burn-through
  • 42-minute continuous protection on foam
  • Featured in Forbes and firefighter magazines
  • SGS tested — UL94 HB classification

Environmental & human safety

Unlike traditional flame retardants used by major manufacturers, B6-182 produces no toxic fumes, endocrine disruptors or carcinogenic byproducts. It is safe for homeowners, children, pets, firefighters and high-occupancy buildings.
