To decrease the risk of fire in your home, office or other facility we are equipped to apply state-of-the-art fire retardant chemicals to flammable items such as draperies, carpets and rugs, lumber, mattresses, paper items, upholstery, etc. Our treatment process meets or exceeds all requirements to be rated as a Class “A” fire retardant on many materials by federal, state and locally acknowledged test procedures. The chemicals we use are non-toxic, non-allergenic, odorless, durable, stable when exposed to ultraviolet light, non-hardening and self-identifying.

Durability of typical fire retardants for textile applications is a major problem because the chemicals do not bond well to fibers and are gradually removed by simple wear and tear. After application of our silicate-based fire retardant, the item treated will dry to a 15% or less moisture content. The silicates will then cure, becoming in most cases insoluble, forming ridged glass-like bonds that dramatically increase their durability. The curing process may take up to 30 days at which point maximum durability is achieved. We can offer flameproofing certificates of flammability on properly treated interior for up to the useful life of the items treated, or in accordance with their maintenance and cleaning schedules.

After treated fabric items are cleaned, a small piece of treated material should be removed and held vertically over a match flame for five seconds. If combustion occurs, the fire retardant treatment must be repeated to ensure future protection. Reapplication is generally recommended after washing or three dry cleanings.
