HydroFlame-X™ may be applied to properly prepared:

• Timber and plywood
• Fibre cement and drywall
• Concrete and masonry
• Steel (prepared)
• Composite building panels
• Thatch roofing (specialist high-pressure spray application required)
• Roof slabs and structural elements requiring thermal-assist coating

Practical field evaluations have demonstrated the product’s ability to limit flame spread and reduce sustained combustion on treated timber substrates when exposed to direct flame sources.
Observed outcomes under controlled field testing included:

• Localised surface charring
• Limitation of flame propagation
• Self-extinguishing behaviour after removal of flame source

Note: These observations are based on practical field evaluation and do not constitute formal fire classification or laboratory certification under SANS, BS, or EN standards. Independent certification testing is pending. Users must conduct application-specific testing appropriate to their risk profile.

• Not intended for continuous immersion or submerged conditions
• Not a fireproofing system
• Direct point-of-flame contact will result in surface charring
• Does not replace certified fire-rated systems unless tested as part of an approved assembly
• Formal fire certification under SANS/BS/EN standards is pending
• Thatch treatment maintenance interval: up to 3 years depending on exposure

• Non-toxic and non-flammable in liquid form
• Free of halogens and heavy metals
• Use gloves and eye protection during application
• Ensure adequate ventilation
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet SDS-HFX-002 for complete safety and disposal information
