Waterborne Fire-Fighting Equipment Coatings – Recommended Monolith Resin System
Fire extinguishers, cabinets and other fire-fighting equipment are produced in large numbers and need a bright, glossy finish that dries fast and does not stick when parts are stacked or packed. Waterborne alkyd resins deliver these properties with lower solvent emissions.
This page summarizes the Monolith waterborne system recommended for fire-fighting equipment coatings in our catalog, the grades whose catalog application lists this field, and the performance points to check when you select a system.
Recommended Monolith system
“+” joins grades used together; “·” and “/” separate alternative options. Final selection depends on your substrate, process and specification.

FAQ
Which waterborne system does Monolith recommend for fire-fighting equipment coatings?
The Monolith catalog recommends primer: AK9512 · AK9520; topcoat: AK9512 · AK9520. “+” joins grades used together; “·” and “/” separate alternative options.
Can the same grade be used as primer and topcoat for fire-fighting equipment coatings?
Yes, the Monolith catalog lists the same grades (AK9512 · AK9520) for both primer and topcoat in fire-fighting equipment coatings. Confirm the coating structure and film build for your specification with our engineers.
Which other Monolith grades are listed for fire-fighting equipment coatings?
Besides the recommended system, the catalog application of these grades mentions this field: none beyond the recommended system.
