	INTUMESCENT FIREPROOFING
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Albi; exterior and interior thin-film fireproofing for steel structures. This section is based on the products of Albi Manufacturing, a Division of StanChem Inc., which is located at: 401 Berlin Street East Berlin, Connecticut 06023 Te1: (860)828-0571 Fax: (860) 828-3297 Email: info@albi.com www.albi.com Albi is the first manufacturer of a water-based, thin-film, intumescent fireproofing material for structural steel listed by Underwriter's Laboratory, 1nc. This testing is your guarantee of a safe, effective, environmentally proven fireproofing material. In fact, UL environmental tests are extremely stringent when compared with other testing bodies in the world. Albi Clad 800 fireproofing is a solvent-based, intumescent mastic fire protective coating for structural steel, concrete, and other construction materials. It is fireproof paint specifically designed for exterior applications in demanding environments, and is rolled for an attractive finish. Albi Clad TF fireproofing is a water-based, thin-film, intumescent coating that represents an aesthetic breakthrough in fire protection for exposed structural steel. It is a unique combination of intumescent fire protection and an attractive, decorative interior finish. Albi Clad FP fireproofing is a water-based thin-film intumescent fireproofing for a variety of interior surfaces. Wood, gypsum board, or virtually any kind of surface can be coated to get an attractive interior finish with superior fire resistant protection. Easy to apply and is also ideal for renovating historic buildings.
