FLAME
RETARDANT
'FLAME RETARDANT' is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic,
non-corrosive liquid that you simply spray onto all types of
material (natural or synthetic) or even untreated wood.
After drying, it can't be seen or felt.
Materials treated with 'FLAME RETARDANT' just won't
support a flame.
Even if a fire started in an untreated area, on reaching
the treated area it would simply go out.
'FLAME RETARDANT' is
SO EFFECTIVE that even when the intense heat of a blowtorch was
directed at a treated tissue paper, held in the palm of a hand,
the tissue only charred. It did not ignite. Also, the hand
holding it was not burned as the chemical, in the presence of
heat, forms a carbonized shield, deflecting heat away from the
treated area.
'FLAME RETARDANT' is
SO VERSATILE, this is the only flame retardant you will need to
treat natural and synthetic materials, carpets, hessian, foam
rubber, dry flowers, untreated timber, in fact almost anything
that can absorb the chemical can be treated.
'FLAME RETARDANT'
TREATMENT LASTS for the useful life of the material treated.
Unaffected by years of walking (on carpets) or sitting (on
furniture) or wearing (of clothes) and will withstand multiple
chemical dry cleansings.
BRITISH STANDARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE
FLAME RETARDANT has B.S.5852 parts 2 (crib 5) for both natural,
mixed fibres (cotton/polyester) and pure synthetics such as
polyester and Dralon.
FLAME RETARDANT passes B.S.5867 part 2 on both natural and
synthetic fabrics and mixed. Natural fabrics include
cotton, wool, cotton backed Dralon. Synthetics include nylon and
mixed fibres such as cotton/polyester.
FLAME RETARDANT can also treat hessian, foam rubber, untreated
wood and any other item that can absorb the chemical.
UL214 ( Test for flame propagation of fabrics and film conducted
by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.)
FLAME RETARDANT passed 5 tests on a variety of natural,
synthetic and blends of natura and synthetic textiles.
(Note: UL does not have a programme for listing, classifying or
recognition of fire retardants except on Douglas Fir Timber).
ASTME 84-81a, also known as Steiner Tunnel Test.
This test is similar to ANSI 2.5; NFPA #255; UBC#42-1; and
UL#723.
a) Test report # 17264 conducted on 6.4 oz/sq.yd polyester and
cotton wool covering, fire retarded by spraying with FLAME
RETARDANT showed the following results:
FLAMESPREAD - 0; FUEL CONTRIBUTED - 5; SMOKE DEVELOPED - 15;
RATING - CLASS "A".
b) Test report #18249 conducted on dense 2, 100-F Fir framing
timber, fire retarded by spraying with FLAME RETARDANT, showed
the following results:
FLAMESPREAD - 45; FUEL CONTRIBUTED - 4; SMOKE DEVELOPED - 75;
RATING - CLASS "B".
* NFPA 701 National Fire Protection Assn. test for flame
resistant textiles.
FLAME RETARDANT passed on 8 different fabrics, some after 10 dry
cleanings.
* ASTM E648, also known as NFPA 253, Critical Radiant Flux
Test for carpets conducted on 28 oz level loop nylon carpet with
jute back, fire retarded by spraying with FLAME RETARDANT showed
the following results on 3 specimens tested; Critical
Radiant Flux (greater than) 1.08 ( this indicates that NONE of
the specimens continued to burn when the ignition was removed
after ten minutes).
* California Fire Code 1940 - Para. 50. Test for flame
resistant textiles.
FLAME RETARDANT passed tests on 6 types on natural, synthetic
and blends.
