Flame Retardant FAQ
What materials can be treated with Flame Retardant?
Our Flame Retardant formulations are compatible with wood, textiles, plastics, and some metals. Specialized versions exist for electronic components and building materials. The treatment penetrates porous materials while creating protective coatings on non-porous surfaces.
How does Flame Retardant actually work?
Flame Retardant compounds function through multiple mechanisms: they release water vapor when heated, form protective char layers that insulate the material, and interfere with the combustion chemical process. This triple-action approach significantly increases ignition resistance and slows fire propagation.
Is Flame Retardant treatment safe for indoor environments?
Yes, our Flame Retardant products meet strict indoor air quality standards (including LEED and GREENGUARD certifications). They contain no VOCs, formaldehyde, or other harmful chemicals once cured. Proper application according to our guidelines ensures complete safety for occupied spaces.
