Using Roscoflamex MC
Roscoflamex MC has been premixed and does not require any further dilution. The method of application and the amount of Roscoflamex MC required for sufficient treatment varies with the materials in use.
Coverage
One gallon of Roscoflamex MC will treat approximately 400 square feet (37 square meters). Coverage area may vary depending on thickness and density of material being treated.
Applying Roscoflamex MC
Dipping
This is the most efficient method of impregnation. Immerse completely for ten minutes and hang to dry.
Brushing
Using a wide lay-in brush, brush the Flamex solution into the fibers of the material being treated. Brush in the solution using a crisscrossing pattern to ensure adequate absorption.
Spraying
In a spray application, it is very important that an adequate amount of the Flamex be absorbed. In calculating the amount of solution needed, remember that a substantial portion of the spray will not fall on the substrate. For best results, use a Hudson-type sprayer with a medium nozzle and hang the material to be treated, then spray in a back and forth pattern starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top of the substrate.
Certification and Testing
Roscoflamex MC has been approved for use by the California State Fire Marshall and FDNY Fire Marshall and has been tested according to ASTM E-84 Class A and NFPA 701. To comply with California or New York approvals, please refer to the appropriate document on the resources tab for more information.
Storage
Store Roscoflamex MC in non-metallic containers. When metal sprayers are used, they should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after use, including nozzles and accessories. Avoid use of metal buckets or paint containers when possible.
