Description: |
| Flame Stop I 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 B rating. This product is also very effective on most synthetic fabrics. Flame Stop I penetrates wood and becomes part of its molecular structure. When the treated material is subjected to an open flame, the retardant will pyrolitically self-extinguish the fire, with minimal smoke. Flame Stop I is completely non-toxic and non-hazardous to the environment, and is simple to apply. |

Basic Uses: |
| Flame Stop I 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 widely used in restaurants, hotels, hospitals, homes and many other commercial and residential buildings. |

Advantages:
Class B one coat system. 35 flame spread 15 smoke developed. Since Flame Stop I 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 20 times. All of our products were tested using single-coated materials. Flame Stop I has many uses and is our most universal fire retardant. Flame Stop I 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 wood. Flame Stop I is often chosen because it is non-toxic, dries clear, and is easy to apply by spray, brush or roller. Once cured (24hrs.), the treated material may be painted with a latex paint.
Limitations:
Do not dilute.
Storage Range: 110 degrees F. to 45 degrees F. Shelf Life: 3 years if kept within storage temperatures.
Applicable Standards:
Flame Stop I has been tested to the following standards:
ASTM E-84, NFPA 255, UL 723: U.S. Testing #LA 62192, CA Reg. #C-14401 NFPA 701

Application:
Flame Stop I can be applied as is by spraying or immersing. In order to be effective, there must be a 2-5% increase in the weight of the fabric. If the material is a synthetic, such as nylon, 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. Then, remove the ignition source. The flame must go out within 2 seconds. This test is similar to the small scale NFPA 701 field test. Apply to wood at the rate of 200 square feet per gallon. Use low pressure spraying equipment, brush or roller.
***** After treatment, a 24 hour conditioning period is necessary before testing*****
