Can fire retardant be washed off?

Fire retardant paint is the best way to protect a structure, whether it be a commercial building or residential home, from being engulfed in flames. Paint is able to be used both indoors and outdoors, on drywall, wood, steel, and pressed tin. You can even use fire retardant paint on plastic!
