If you're in the market for a reliable and effective flame retardant for paper and cardboard, look no further than the Roscoflamex PC. This product has been specifically formulated to treat a wide range of paper products frequently used in the construction of props and scenery. It's ideal for treating paper items without a wax coating or other water-resistant properties, ensuring a high level of fire protection.
Roscoflamex PC comes premixed and doesn't require any further dilution, making it a convenient and user-friendly solution. The application method and the amount required for effective treatment may vary depending on the materials you're working with. It's important to note that some discoloration and wrinkling may occur as the paper materials dry, but this can be minimized with multiple light treatments.
One gallon of Roscoflamex PC can treat approximately 400 square feet (37 square meters) of material, offering extensive coverage. The product can be applied by dipping, brushing, or spraying. For dipping, immerse the material completely for ten minutes and then hang to dry. If you prefer brushing, use a wide lay-in brush and apply the solution in a criss-crossing pattern to ensure adequate absorption. For spray application, use a Hudson-type sprayer with a medium nozzle setting and spray in a back and forth pattern, starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top of the material.
Roscoflamex PC is approved for use by the California and New York City Fire Marshall and has been tested according to NFPA 701 standards, providing assurance of its effectiveness and safety. For storage, it's recommended to keep Flamex products in non-metallic containers and clean any metal sprayers thoroughly after use.
This flame retardant solution is perfect for treating a variety of paper and cardboard items, including letters, copier paper, newspapers, magazines, paper trash, packaging, cardboard boxes, and matte board. Please remember to always test a sample before full application to determine the product's suitability and effectiveness. With Roscoflamex PC, you can confidently protect your paper and cardboard materials from fire, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
