The Roscoflamex PC Flame Retardant is a specially formulated solution designed to provide effective and durable fire protection for paper and cardboard materials. This versatile product is ideal for treating a wide range of paper products commonly used in the construction of props and scenery, including letters, copier paper, newspapers, magazines, paper trash, packaging, cardboard boxes, and matte board.
This easy-to-use flame retardant has been premixed for your convenience and does not require any further dilution. It can be applied through dipping, brushing, or spraying, depending on your specific needs. For optimal results, multiple light treatments are recommended to minimize any potential discoloration or wrinkling as the paper materials dry.
One gallon of Roscoflamex PC Flame Retardant can treat approximately 400 square feet (37 square meters) of material, making it an efficient solution for your fire protection needs. It's important to note that when using a spray application, a substantial portion of the spray may not fall on the fabric, so ensure an adequate amount of the Flamex is absorbed.
Roscoflamex PC Flame Retardant has been approved for use by the California and New York City Fire Marshall and has been tested according to NFPA 701 standards, reflecting its high safety and effectiveness. For storage, it is recommended to keep Flamex products in non-metallic containers and thoroughly clean any metal sprayers used immediately after use.
Please read the instructions supplied with the Flamex product carefully. Rosco offers these products in good faith, but without guarantee, as the materials treated and methods of application are beyond the control of the manufacturer. Always test a sample to determine how the fabric will react and to test for effective flame retardance.
In conclusion, the Roscoflamex PC Flame Retardant is a reliable, safe, and effective solution for protecting your paper and cardboard materials from fire, providing you with peace of mind in your prop and scenery construction projects.
