Flamebar S3 can be diluted with 1 to 2 volumes
of water for thin materials.
These crystals are designed to be mixed with
water to make-up an economical flame retardant
solution. The dilution rate is 1:5 dependant on
the material to be treated.
1 Kilo would make up approximately 5 Litres,
500 g would make approximately 2.5 Litres.

BRITISH STANDARDS
Flamebar flame retardants have been tested on a wide variety of materials to British
Standard levels as listed on fire certificate data sheet. These include BS5867 part 2 1980
flammability of furnishing standard mainly for fabrics and building regulation standard
BS476 part 7 surface spread of flame. These are mainly on wood and allied products.
FLAME RETARDANCY
It is not possible to produce a non ignitable finish on all materials. The level varies, but the
most effective treatments are on absorbent materials like cotton and other natural fibres;
wood, straw, cardboard and paper products etc. Synthetic materials are more difficult to treat
with most plastics being extremely difficult to upgrade this way. Finishes like scotchguard
stain proofing present difficulties of penetration. Increased penetration is normally possible
by adding wetting agent or raising the temperature of the solution. The purpose is to obtain
the best flame retardancy possible with the particular material applying the most suitable
flame retardant. This is to make the material more difficult to ignite, to slow any flame
spread down to a minimum and prevent smouldering. In this way, in case of fire, it helps
along with other measures to provide a time delay for people to evacuate the area safely.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Flamebar solutions are not harmful when used as directed. Observe normal safety
precautions limiting exposure to a minimum by providing ventilation and using gloves,
goggles, and mask for extended spraying. Refer to Health and Safety Sheet Before use.
Highly effective and economical range of water based flame retardants tested to British
Standards to improve fire safety of a wide range of materials.
COVERAGE
Depends on absorbency and thickness of the material. Guide quantities are as follows:
Heavyweight / Medium weight Fabrics - 4-6 sq. metres per litre; Light weight Fabrics -
7-9 sq. metres per litre; Wood - 4-6 sq. metres per litre; Wood to Class 1 - 3-4 sq. metres
per litre; Paper / Thin Card - 10 metres per litre
In a warm ventilated atmosphere drying will be quicker, but be aware that drying too
quickly can cause white marking on surface. A cool iron may be used.
TREATMENT
Will withstand dry cleaning solvents but needs re-application after washing or other
exposure to water. It is long lasting in dry conditions.
