Gorlex GFS 014 – Premium Fire Retardant Wall Paint (Water-Based)

Comprehensive Product Description

The Gorlex GFS 114 is a high-performance, water-based fire retardant wall paint designed to merge aesthetic appeal with uncompromising safety. In modern architecture, interior walls and ceilings are the largest surface areas in any building; the GFS 114 ensures these surfaces do not contribute to the spread of a fire. This premium coating is engineered to stay passive under normal conditions but reacts instantly when exposed to high heat, creating a flame-resistant barrier that slows the spread of fire throughout a facility.

One of the standout features of the GFS 114 is its commitment to indoor environmental health. Featuring Lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) levels, this paint is specifically designed for better indoor air quality. This makes it the ideal choice for high-occupancy environments such as hospitals, schools, hotels, and residential complexes where air purity is as vital as fire safety.

Utilizing a New & Improved Formula, GFS 114 provides excellent opacity, a smooth finish, and superior washability. It transforms standard interior surfaces into fire-safe zones without sacrificing the decorative look of the space. Whether you are retrofitting an older building to meet modern safety codes or finishing a new high-rise, Gorlex GFS 114 offers a reliable, eco-friendly, and life-saving solution for interior wall protection.

Superior Indoor Air Quality

Unlike traditional fire-rated paints that can emit strong odors and harmful chemicals for weeks after application, the GFS 114 is formulated for immediate occupancy. The low VOC levels ensure that residents and workers are not exposed to “off-gassing,” supporting a healthier breathing environment.

Exceptional Aesthetic and Durability

Safety doesn’t have to look industrial. The GFS 114 dries to a beautiful, uniform finish that rivals premium decorative paints. It is highly resistant to yellowing and is formulated with high-quality pigments that maintain their color integrity over time. Additionally, its scrub-resistant surface allows for easy cleaning, making it perfect for high-traffic hallways and public spaces.

Seamless Integration with Fire Safety Protocols

The GFS 114 is a critical component of a building’s passive fire protection (PFP) strategy. It effectively reduces the “Flashover” risk—the moment when all combustible materials in a room ignite simultaneously—by keeping wall temperatures lower for a longer duration.

Application Instructions:

1. Surface Prep: Ensure walls are dry, clean, and free of dust, grease, or loose old paint.

2. Priming: For best results, use a compatible Gorlex primer on new masonry or porous surfaces.

3. Coating: Apply 2 coats for maximum fire retardancy and color depth. Allow 4 hours between coats.
