Product Specification

Fire-Poof™ is an interior non-hazardous, water-based flame retardant for most
textile fibers, raw wood and OEM uses. Fire-Poof™ is easy to use and has no smell; one product for most fibers.

APPLICATION

Users of this product must determine the suitability of this product for its intended use. Do not use an airless sprayer as the pressure can atomize the product, which can prevent proper performance. Recommend wear of chemical resistant gloves, goggles and N95 mask for protection. Fire-Poof is ready to use. Pre-vacuuming or cleaning may be needed prior to application. Test for dye stability in an inconspicuous area. Some unstable dyes, especially reds are prone to bleeding. We are not responsible for any aesthetic changes that may occur. Apply to clean surface free of dust and dirt with a, “Hudson” type orchard sprayer with a fan spray tip at 40-100 PSI. Spray all exposed surfaces. Other coatings, glue, etc. can increase flame spread and must be tested as a system.

For Fabric: 200-800 square feet per gallon depending on the fiber content and density of the item being treated. All surfaces must be free of dirt or coatings. Testing results by a trained professional will determine chemical amount and
cure time if needed. May need to be applied to both sides of the textile to ensure all areas are treated with Fire-Poof™. Not effective on 100% nylon, acetate, acrylic, plastic, metal or surfaces with water, glue or stain / water repellent. Sizing, oil and dirt can also prevent absorption. May be effective over scenic paint but must be tested by a certified laboratory for use with specific paint being used.

For Wood: All wood must be free from coatings such as paint, sealant or dirt. Apply 150 square feet per gallon to raw wood to achieve Class A or Class 1 rating on plywood or 250 sq. ft./gal. for Class B or Class 2 rating. 125 Sq. Ft. /gal.
to achieve Class A or Class 1 rating on Luan, 150 Sq. Ft. per Gallon on Birch to achieve a Class B or Class 2 rating.

Cardboard & Paper: Apply to all sides at approx. 195 square feet per gallon. Thicker cardboard may need to be submerged for Fire-Poof to penetrate all sides and middle of cardboard. Length of dipping or spray time may vary
depending upon thickness of cardboard/paper to determine absorption effectiveness and desired strength.

Other material: may also need to be submerged until positive results have been achieved. Length of time may vary depending upon substrate saturation capabilities.

CLEAN UP

Flush sprayer and tips with warm water and wash hands with soap and water.
