This foam layer delays heat penetration, reducing flame spread and smoke development. <\/span>No. 166 varnish can be used on its own, with no additional topcoat. However, using No. 167 coating significantly improves the durability of No. 166.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Clear, velvety satin finish for wood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can be topcoated with Flame Control No. 167 fire-retardant varnish for greater durability and higher gloss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can be used on its own with no additional topcoat.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Uses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No. 166 varnish is suitable for wall panels, ceiling panels, and other similar surfaces such as wood wainscoting. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is not recommended for floors, doors, shelves, or areas likely to be exposed to moisture, high humidity, mold, or water, as the coating is slightly softer than conventional varnishes and its appearance may turn milky when exposed to damp conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

(For high-wear surfaces or areas likely to be exposed to damp conditions, we recommend the Flame Control Class \u201cB\u201d varnish system No. 129 and No. 130.)<\/span><\/p>\n

A topcoat over 166 varnish is not necessary for many applications. However, any surfaces that will be handled, or where a low-sheen, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finish is desired, must be topcoated with Flame Control No. 167 fire-retardant topcoat after allowing 48 hours to dry thoroughly. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h2″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”How to apply”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”application”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All dirt, grease, oil, wax, and other foreign matter must be <\/span>removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

NEW SURFACES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If staining is desired, the use of wipe-on penetrating stains is recommended. <\/span>Porous wood surfaces must then be thoroughly sealed<\/strong> with Flame Control No. 6 Clear Wood Sealer or a regular alkyd wood varnish in a satin finish before applying Flame Control No. 166 varnish<\/strong>. Allow the surface to dry completely before lightly sanding with 320-grit, remove dust, and proceed with the application of No. 166.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stain is optional depending on the needs of the project, but sealing the wood is not before using Flame Control 166 varnish.<\/span> <\/span>It is recommended to prepare a representative sample of the system before starting the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

PREVIOUSLY COATED SURFACES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Test small areas. If the old coating is not affected, proceed with the application of No. 166. If the old coating is affected, it will be necessary to completely remove the coating, then treat it as a \u201cnew surface,\u201d and apply Flame Control No. 6, 166, and 167. <\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/span>On prefinished V-groove panels, it may be necessary to seal the grooves before applying Flame Control No. 166 fire-retardant alkyd varnish, as they are very porous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is important to mix the product thoroughly before use.<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 166 can be applied by brush, airless sprayer, or heavy-duty conventional sprayer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apply a heavy coat at the recommended coverage rate of 300 ft\u00b2 per gallon. <\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> two coats are required. <\/span> <\/p>\n

On wood panels and other large surfaces, it is recommended to use <\/span>spray application<\/b>, as it will provide a more uniform finish. <\/span> <\/p>\n

If thinning is necessary, use <\/span>only <\/b>Flame Control No. 166 Special Reducer<\/strong>. To comply with the surface-burning characteristics established for this varnish, any thinning must be compensated for by reduced coverage rates. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Cleaning and Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Important: <\/b>Never use water or water-based cleaners to clean surfaces finished with this system because they will turn the surface finish milky. Use only <\/span>oil-based wood-surface cleaners.<\/span><\/p>\n
