Flame Retardant

Colourcraft 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.  Once dry, it cannot be seen or felt.  Treated materials will not support a flame. Even if a fire started on an untreated area, it would simply go out.

It can be used in both residential and commercial properties, schools, theatres, concert halls and other public places.

In the presence of heat, a carbonised shield is formed which deflects heat away from treated areas.  Colourcraft Flame Retardant is extremely versatile. It will treat most absorbent surfaces including both natural and synthetic materials, carpet, hessian, foam rubber, dry flowers and untreated timber. It is not suitable for use on painted or varnished wood or anything with a slick or non-porous surface. Flooding or continuous water-based washing or cleaning may impair the treatment and further spray application may be required.

Treatment lasts for the useful life of the material treated. Unaffected by years of walking on (carpet) sitting on (furniture), or wearing (clothes) it will withstand multiple chemical dry cleaning. 

Coverage will be 100 – 120 sq. feet per litre of Flame Retardant depending upon the thickness of the absorbent material.    

Colourcraft Flame-Retardant complies with BS5852 part II (crib 5) for both natural fibres, mixed fibres (cotton polyester) and pure synthetics such as polyester and draylon. It also complies with BS5867 Part II on both natural and synthetic fabrics.
