Crown Timonox Upgrade Basecoat

Crown Timonox Upgrade Basecoat is a specialised primer designed to enhance fire safety by upgrading the fire performance of existing painted surfaces. Part of Crown Paints' Timonox range, this basecoat is formulated to work in conjunction with Timonox topcoats to provide an effective fire-retardant system. It is particularly useful in environments where improving fire safety standards is a priority, such as public buildings, schools, hospitals, and commercial properties.

The primary function of Crown Timonox Upgrade Basecoat is to create a stable and fire-retardant foundation on previously painted surfaces. When used with Timonox topcoats, it helps to slow the spread of flames and reduce heat transmission during a fire, thus providing additional time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. The basecoat is designed to adhere well to a variety of substrates, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces, ensuring compatibility and effectiveness.

Application of the Crown Timonox Upgrade Basecoat is straightforward, requiring standard painting tools such as brushes, rollers, or spray equipment. Once applied, it dries to form a robust layer that enhances the performance of the subsequent intumescent topcoats. This system not only improves fire safety but also allows for aesthetic flexibility, as the topcoats are available in various finishes to meet design requirements.
