MECHANIC R7 Flame Retardant Repair Adhesive

This is a specific adhesive for mobile phone and electronics repair, sold in black and transparent (white) versions. It is used for bonding parts like screens, frames, and back covers. 

• Flame retardant: It is specifically designed to be flame retardant, adding safety to electronics repair.

• Non-corrosive: The formula is non-corrosive, meaning it won't damage sensitive electronic components.

• High tensile strength: It is a high-viscosity adhesive with strong tensile strength.

• Color options: Available in black for opaque applications and transparent (appears white) for visible bonding where clarity is needed.

• Availability: Can be purchased from online electronics parts retailers like Lazada and Alibaba. 

Common fire retardant options

For fire retardant coatings or materials for other purposes, different products are required. Here are some examples: 

Fire retardant paint for wood

• FirePRO by Solignum

  : A water-based, non-toxic fire retardant paint that helps wood become fire resistant and minimizes harmful fumes during a fire.

• Destiny Paint Flame Shield

  : An easy-to-apply, non-toxic solution for rendering wood, fabrics, and paper fire retardant.

• Intumescent paints: These swell up when exposed to heat, forming a thick, insulating char layer that delays the spread of fire. 

• FirePRO by Solignum Gallon Fire Retardant Non Toxic 4 Liters Water-based Coat Paint Coating 4L

  ₱1,840.00

• Destiny Paint - Flame Shield (Fire Retardant)

Fire retardant coatings for metal

• Intumescent Steel Structure Fireproof Paint

  : An acrylic-based fireproof coating designed for structural steel.

• Promat Intumescent Paints: Products like

  PROMAPAINT-SC3

  are reactive coatings that expand under heat to protect steel structures.

• High-temperature paint: For objects that are regularly exposed to high temperatures, such as stoves or exhausts, products like

  Stove Bright High Temperature Paint

  are used. These are heat-resistant rather than flame-retardant. 

Fire-retardant materials for cables

• Scotch® Fire-Retardant Electric Arc Proofing Tape

  : A 600V-rated tape from 3M that protects electrical cables from adjacent cable failures. It expands to form a thick char buildup when exposed to fire. 

Important considerations

When choosing a flame retardant product, it's essential to match the product to the material and application. The "R7" you mentioned is for electronics repair, and a different product is needed for surfaces like wood or metal. 

Fire retardant classifications

Fire retardant materials are rated by how they impede the spread of flames. The classifications from the National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) include: 

• Class A: Flame spread rating of 0-25; effective against severe fire exposure.

• Class B: Flame spread rating of 26-75; effective against moderate fire exposure.

• Class C: Flame spread rating of 76-200; effective against light fire exposure.
