Quick Tips - Vellrath Group

One (1) - 25# bucket of UFP will provide enough material for 25 patches, 8 ½” x 11” by ½”
UFP has been tested against fiber and cementitious materials as the existing SFRM
UFP was tested & classified under UL 263 protocol as a SFRM at 2 hours @ 1 3/16” by UL
UFP has been tested at 3 hours @ 1.61” at VTEC Labs per ASTM E119 protocol
UFP is certified as trowel applied patch material by Intertek Labs
UFP is manufactured under both UL and Intertek Certification requirements & guidelines
ASTM E84 test results indicate a zero contribution to smoke and fire
ASTM E736 tested at VTEC Labs shows an adhesion/cohesion of 2745 lbs. sf
ASTM E605 tested at VTEC Labs shows a density of 38.52 lbs. cf
UFP has been tested compatible against low and medium density SFRM materials
There is 8.6 board feet per 25 lb. bucket
UFP was awarded the Innovative Product of the Year in 2014 by AWCI
UFP is protected by U.S. Patent #9,963,638
All tests were performed by nationally recognized and independent fire test laboratories

Determine how much UFP and potable water is needed – approximately 1 quart of water for every 2 pounds of UFP, or the equivalent. (approximately 3.2 gallons of water per bucket)
Select a mixing tub large enough to hold the water and UFP material and pour 90% of the water into tub, followed by the UFP and begin mixing. By pouring the water first, this avoids unmixed UFP at the vertical and horizontal contact in the mixing bucket.
Use a ½ inch drill with mixing blade for a full bucket and a smaller drill and mixing blade for lesser amounts
Mixed UFP should appear fully wetted, similar to oatmeal consistency. Fully wetted but not so wet as to hamper application. Use remaining 10% water if needed, to adjust thickness consistency. • We recommend ¾” to 1” per pass
“POT” time - 2 - 4 hours and “SET” time - 24 hours • If the surrounding substrate is too dry, you can lightly moisten using water in a spray bottle • UFP can be painted with a water-based paint (might seep in a little)
Substrate should be bare, slightly rusted steel, free of loose mil scale, rust or oils (do not use cleaning agents - wire brush only)
UFP should be applied at 40° and rising, 24 hours prior to and 24 hours post application
