Most fabrics made of natural fibres can be effectively treated using Roscoflamex NF. Among the many fabrics commonly used in scenery or costumes, use Roscoflamex NF on cotton, muslin, scrims, cotton netting, natural velour’s, wools, linens, natural felts, and most other decorative, garment or upholstery fabrics made with natural fibres. Easy to use, with no greasy after effects, Roscoflamex NF is the best solution for ensuring your scenery and props meet local fire regulations.
Using Roscoflamex NF
Roscoflamex NF has been premixed and does not require any further dilution. The method of application and the amount of Roscoflamex NF required for sufficient treatment varies with the fabrics in use.
Coverage
One gallon of Roscoflamex NF will treat approximately 500 square feet (46.4 square meters) of fabric.
Applying Roscoflamex NF
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 fibres of the material being treated. Brush in the solution using a criss-crossing pattern to insure 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 fabric. Use a Hudson-type sprayer with a medium nozzle setting. For best results, hang the material to be treated and spray in a back and forth pattern starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top of the fabric sample.
Over saturating the fabric may cause it to stiffen or otherwise alter its hand. ALWAYS treat a test sample to determine how the fabric will react and to test for effective flame retardance.
Storage
Store Flamex products 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.
