No — not a structural steel fire-protection system.
Who can apply it?
Professional application with the training and competency required by the current SDS, applicable UK requirements and the project jurisdiction.
What is FireGuard Pro 200?
FireGuard Pro 200 is a two-component, high-solids, thin-film surface coating used within suitable documented constructions where improved reaction-to-fire performance is required. It is based on polyurea-combination chemistry and cures to a hard, wear-resistant, easily cleaned finish.
The manufacturer PDS references an A2-s1,d0 reaction-to-fire classification under EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009 (Classification Report 18831B, Warrington Fire Gent). That classification applies only to the exact tested construction documented in that report.
FireGuard Pro 200 is considered where the project requires a documented reaction-to-fire surface classification and the proposed construction can be matched to the applicable evidence.
Reaction to Fire
Evaluates how a product or construction contributes to fire development — including flame spread, smoke production and flaming droplets. EN 13501-1 is the European classification standard for reaction to fire. A2-s1,d0 does not mean 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of fire resistance.
Fire Resistance — Not Applicable Here
Fire resistance concerns how long a structural element maintains integrity, insulation or load-bearing capacity under fire. FireGuard Pro 200 must not be presented as providing a fire-resistance period. Structural steel fire protection requires a separately specified and tested passive fire protection system.
A2-s1,d0 does not mean 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of fire resistance. It does not protect load-bearing elements. These are separate, distinct fire-safety requirements.
Verified Product Properties
Reaction-to-Fire Classification
Manufacturer PDS references A2-s1,d0 under EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009, Report 18831B. Classification scope must be confirmed from the report before specification.
Wear Resistant
The PDS lists hardness under BS EN ISO 1580 and impact resistance under ISO 6272-1, with both results stated as passed.
Easy to Clean
The PDS lists easy cleanability as a product property. PDS-referenced tests: cleanability, water resistance and detergent resistance (ISO 2812-1, passed).
UV Resistance Referenced
The PDS references a QUV test under ISO 11507 (passed). The available public documentation does not establish unrestricted exterior service life or universal façade suitability. Confirm exposure, finish stability and maintenance expectations for the project.
Fast Cure
Dust dry in approximately 45 minutes at 20°C / 65% RH. Recoatable in 4 hours. Suitable for projects with constrained programme time.
Potential Application Contexts & Exclusions
The following contexts are PDS-listed potential application substrates and locations, subject to substrate preparation, compatibility and project-specific assessment. A substrate being listed as a potential application surface does not establish that every construction using that substrate is covered by Classification Report 18831B.
PDS-Listed Potential Application Contexts
Subject to substrate assessment, preparation confirmation and classification scope verification.
- Suitable Mineral Surfaces
Concrete, block, render and similar mineral substrates where preparation is confirmed.
- Suitable Metal Substrates
Metal surfaces within PDS scope. Not a structural steel fire-protection or intumescent system.
- Suitable Timber Constructions
Wood substrates where the full construction and preparation are confirmed.
- Suitable Plasterboard Constructions
Plasterboard in new build and refurbishment where the build-up is confirmed.
- Walls and Ceilings
Interior walls and ceilings in public buildings, commercial and residential contexts.
- Stairwell Finishes
Stairwell surfaces where improved reaction-to-fire performance is required by the fire strategy.
- Floors
Where the complete finish specification, slip performance and compatibility are confirmed.
- Exterior Façade Surfaces
Where exposure conditions, substrate compatibility and classification scope are separately confirmed.
Not Suitable Without Specific Confirmation
The following require separate evidence, design or product specification.
- Structural Steel Fire Resistance
Separate passive fire protection system required. FireGuard Pro 200 does not protect load-bearing steel.
- Load-Bearing Elements
Not specified or tested for protection of load-bearing structural elements.
- Intumescent Specification
FireGuard Pro 200 is not intumescent and does not expand under heat.
- Fire Stopping, Compartmentation, Cavity Barriers
These require separately specified and tested fire-stopping and penetration-sealing systems.
- Untested Coating Thickness or Build-Up
Film thickness outside 140–160 μm DFT is outside the PDS-stated range. Untested build-ups are outside classification scope.
- Untested Primer or Existing Coating Combinations
Applying over an existing coating of unknown compatibility is outside PDS guidance without specific assessment.
- Waterproofing Applications
FireGuard Pro 200 is not a waterproofing membrane. Waterproofing requires a separately specified system.
- Damaged or Structurally Defective Substrates
Application over structurally defective substrates is not appropriate.
Fire Strategy Coordination
Where FireGuard Pro 200 is proposed to meet a project fire-performance objective, its use should be coordinated with the project fire strategy and the appointed competent fire professional. Application of FireGuard Pro 200 alone does not make a building, stairwell, façade or escape route automatically compliant with Building Regulations. Always consult with Forti Nova and your appointed fire safety consultant before specifying.

Product Properties
Application Data
All times and values are approximate and affected by product temperature, relative humidity and layer thickness. Application thickness must follow the current PDS and the exact classified construction documented in Classification Report 18831B. The available PDS alone does not establish whether every application within the general 140–160 μm range is covered by the classification.
Relative Humidity
35% – 90% RH
Application outside this range is not recommended
Dew Point Margin
Surface must be ≥3°C above dew point
Check dew point table before application
Product Acclimatisation
Minimum 24 hours
Before application — avoid wide product/surface temperature differences
Mixing Instructions
Mechanical Mixing Required
2-component products must always be mechanically mixed using a continuously adjustable mixing machine at low speed (300–400 RPM). Use a clean mixing rod matched to the container size. Avoid mixing too fast or for too long to minimise air entrapment.
Mix Component A First
Mix component A (base) until it is a homogeneous mixture before adding the hardener.
Add Component B
Add component B (hardener — completely drained or scraped) to component A. Mix for at least 2–3 minutes until homogeneous. Transfer to a clean mixing bucket and mix again to exclude unmixed material from the bottom and sides.
Additives Last
If using additives such as quartz sand, only add once the mixture is homogeneous. Mix thoroughly again after adding.
Substrate Preparation
The PDS describes primerless application, but substrate preparation and any project-specific pre-treatment requirements must be confirmed against the current Prokol Surface Pre-treatment guidance before application. The Surface Pre-treatment sheet is available on request via the Forti Nova technical team.
Product Familiarisation and Competent Application
Diisocyanate Training and Competency
The hardener SDS (42081-H) states that adequate training is required before industrial or professional use from 24 August 2023. The hardener contains Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) oligomers at 75–<100% concentration. Applicators must follow the current SDS, applicable UK legal requirements, task-specific COSHH assessment and site controls. Confirm the training and competency requirements applying to the project jurisdiction before use.
EUH204 label statement: "Contains isocyanates. May produce an allergic reaction."
Safe Handling Controls
