Thermal
Barrier
. LITL1M' 3300 Thermal Barrier .is a
cementitiousi fire protection coating specifically
formulated for application over foam plastics,
Spray -applied to interior foam plastics n wall
and oiling surfaces, ZONOILITE 3300 forms a
hard, durable" monolithic thermal barrier again t
heat and fire.
Its effectiveness is the result of a formulation
consisting of a blend of lightweight ag regate
po rt laind cement ani' other proprietary
ingredients. — which .adheres firmly to foam
plastics., Tested bond strengths are several
hundred tirries the per square foot weight of the
coating itself
ZONOLITE 3300 is a single component.,
DI -r i nri
product, With just the addition of
water, ZONOLITE LITE 3300' is both quick and easy to
apply., building to required thicknesses in a.
single pass. ZONOLITE 3300 is the most
!tiCi!nt ,, low-cost method of meeting tough
building codes and insurance requirements,

technical personnel eel Io a:ted throughout the.
United States and Canada provide close
technical support to contractors! owners and
spocifiers
2
While specific requirements differ from lIocality
to locality, the use of foam plastics for most
building occupancies is permitted only 'hen
foams plastics are fully protected by an approved
thermal barrier
ZONOLITE 3300 has been successfully t i rent saved
and approved by Factory ut aI and
Underwriters Laboratories. ZONOLITE 3300 has
a proven field! and laboratory record of performance

Thermal Barrier,. In brief, ZONOLITE 3300
Thermal Barrier is supplied in bags that yield
25 board ife t (50 square feet at one-half
inch) when applied according tomanufacturers"
directions. Bag contents are mixed with water
in a wide variety of .plaster mixers to form a
consistent, cohesive .slurry, This slurry is
spray -applied, again using widely available
standard plastering equipment A nominally
killed crew with good equipment and .where
job conditions piermiit,, can be expected t
achieve application rates in excess of 101000
sq ft./day„

accomplished as detailed for coolers, (above ....
The room shall then be held at. 35°F until
the residual moisture has been removed
and all 'components, are in iequiIibriium
condition. This period shall be no 'less
than 7 clay's. The temperatures may then be
dropped to operating temperatures as low as
–
20°F at a rate not 'to exceed 1F°12 hour .
