This anti-viral varnish is a protective clear matt finish applied over Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat as the final step in a complete fire protection system for protecting wood and wood-based boards against fire. On its own, this overcoat offers a tough, durable finish for interior and exterior wood. Its primary innovation lies in its ability to actively combat pathogens. Contact with the treated surface destroys the casing on “enveloped” coronaviruses and other viruses like influenza, achieving a 99.3% coronavirus reduction in 2 hours. It also disrupts the breeding and causes disintegration of bacteria, resulting in a 99.9% bacteria reduction in 4 hours. This is critical as coronaviruses and bacteria remain contagious for weeks on hard surfaces; hand contact with doors, window sills and other wood create a potential infection risk unless protected with a treatment like SafeWood. Key Features Advanced Anti-Viral and Bacterial Protection: This coating actively kills harmful pathogens. It achieves 99.3% coronavirus reduction in 2 hours and 99.9% bacteria reduction in 4 hours, targeting coronavirus, influenza and bacteria. High-Performance Fire Protection System: This varnish forms part of a system with Thermoguard Fire Varnish Basecoat. The basecoat Safewood system protects wood and this protective finish completes it, helping to achieve a fire rating of Class 0 and BS EN Class B s2 d0. Durable Decorative Finish: Provides a hard-wearing, decorative and protective clear matt finish that enhances the natural beauty of wood and timber. Versatile Application: Suitable for both interior wood and exterior wood applications. Can be applied by brush, roller or spray. A 2 coat system is required for interiors and 3 coats externally. Wide Substrate Compatibility: Ideal for use on new and previously varnished or stained wood, wood-based boards, and other timber surfaces. Applications High-Touch Surfaces: An essential treatment to kill enveloped coronaviruses and bacteria on surfaces prone to frequent hand contact, such as doors, railings, furniture, and window sills. It helps mitigate the potential infection risk in all environments. Fire Safety Upgrades: Used as the specified protective finish applied over Safewood systems in public buildings, commercial spaces, and residential projects. It is a key component for door upgrade kits and achieving BS EN Class B ratings on interior and exterior timber. General Wood Finishing: Can be used as a standalone durable matt varnish on wood and wood-based boards where fire retardant properties are not required but a hygienic, anti-viral surface is desired.
