 Fire
Block Fire Retardant
Fire Block is a specially formulated, environmentally friendly
product which is used to retard fire in all Class A materials
FIre Block forms a thermal insulation barrier that prevents dangerous
flames form spreading. Fire Block also inhibits the development
of toxic hydrocarbon smoke.
Applications: Use to treat Class A materials and surfaces
such as uniforms, clothing, wood, pre-construction materials, furnishings,
carpeting, packing materials, motor home interiors, holiday decorations
and storage boxes for added safety against fire. It can also be
mixed 50/50 with latex paint to flames on interior walls from spreading.
Directions: Fire Block is easy to use. Just spray Fire Block
on the item or surface being treated. In bulk applications, you
may also dip the items and allow to drip dry. In all applications,
allow Fire Block to completely penetrate the item or surface. Allow
material to dry completely. If you are using Fire Block to fire
retard clothing and other fabrics, and plan to wash these items
in the future, it is recommended that Fire Block be reapplied after
the third washing, as some of the product's effectiveness will be
diminished due to washing. When mixing Fire Block with latex paint,
mix equal parts of Fire Block and paint.
Technical Information: Fire Block fire retardant has been tested
in accordance with NFPA 255 and ASTM-E84 Test for Flame Spread and
Smoke Development Values by SGS US Testing for Class A (wood, paper,
fabrics, etc.) materials.
