Does intumescent paints require any special type of topcoat?

In exposed and semi-exposed interior environments, the applied intumescent paint should be coated with a compatible finish coat, in order to give the desired colour and seal the coating. The topcoat system must be suitable for the environment in which it is to be used and should be a good quality, long oil alkyd, silicone, acrylic latex or polyurethane type. All topcoats should be applied in accordance with the topcoat manufacturer's recommendations. Ensure that the coating is thoroughly dry before application of top coat. Typically, allow a minimum of 7 days for the intumescent coating to fully cure before application of any top coat system. The intumescent paint manufacturer should be contacted to ensure compatibility of the top coat system.
