Did You Know?

Smoke detectors failed to operate in 44% of reported fires.

Fire Doubles every 30 seconds.

There are over $10 billion worth of property damage in the US each year.

Despite the use of sprinklers and smoke alarms, the USA has the worst fire fatality rate in the industrialized world.

In deadly home fires 14% had working smoke detectors and alarm.

New York City alone has more fires each year than Japan.

DESCRIPTION:

The fire retardant spray is a post-treatment indoor fire retardant. This product dries clear. When used on porous wood such as Douglas Fir or Pine, it will provide a Class A or B rating. This product is also very effective on most synthetic fabrics. The spray penetrates wood and becomes part of it's molecular structure. When the treated material is subjected to an open flame, the retardant will reduce the flames spread of wood and self-extinguish the flame of most fabrics if treated properly. The fire retardant is non-toxic and non-hazardous to the environment and simple to apply.

BASIC USES:

The fire retardant spray is used for interior applications such as: draperies, wall coverings, carpet, furniture, cotton Muslin, paper/straw, most synthetics, redwood, cedar, Douglas fir, etc. This product is used widely in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, homes and many other commercial and residential buildings.

ADVANTAGES:

Since the fire retardant spray penetrates and becomes part of the substrate, the life of the flame retardancy is indefinite as long as fabrics are not wet washed, however they may be dry cleaned up to 1 time without reapplication. The spray has many uses and is our most universal fire retardant. The fire retardant spray will not deteriorate because it is not a coating instead it penetrates and becomes part of most materials. This product will not alter the structural integrity of the wood. The fire retardant is often chosen because it is non-toxic, dries clear, easy (spray, brush or roll) application. Once cured (24 hrs) the treated material may be painted with a latex paint.

FABRIC APPLICATION:

This fire retardant can be applied as is by spraying or immersing. In order to be effective there must be a 10-12% increase in the weight of the fabric, if material is synthetic such as polyester, a heavier coat may be needed. Since all fabrics have a different density a small test should be performed by the utilization of a small flame (butane lighter). Hold a 4" X 12" piece of the treated material vertically and apply the flame to the lower portion for 10 seconds, remove the ignition source. The flame must go out within 2 seconds. (This test is similar to the small-scale NFPA 701 field test).

WOOD APPLICATION:

Apply to wood at the rate of 125 square feet per gallon to achieve a Class A or 200 square feet per gallon to achieve a Class B rating. Use low pressure spraying equipment, brush or roll.

The spray is used widely in schools, restaurants, nightclubs, high-rise hotels, apartments, nursing homes, theatres, etc.
