How to apply Flame-O-Guard Flame Retardant Solution
All fabrics must be clean and dry. Apply Flame - O - Guard to a small piece of material to ensure dyes are water-fast and do not water mark or shrink.

Do not dip pile-textured fabrics.

By Spray
Apply Flame-O-Guard using a conventional pressurized garden or pneumatic type sprayer. For the best result apply with the spray - head held 200 to 300 millimeters from the fabric to be treated. Where a garden-type sprayer use a graduated container to estimate the required application rate to be made Velvet, velour and other fine textured fabrics should be sprayed from the reverse side only, and other fabrics from both sides, with sufficient number of spray passes to ensure thorough wetting. It is important to allow 20-30 minutes between applications to ensure thorough absorption. The spray equipment should be thoroughly cleaned with water after use.

FLAME - O - GUARD - C

In the event of fire, the water-borne Flame-O-Guard-C fire protection coating for electrical cables form an insulating layer which delays short-circuiting and prevents spread of flame, thus maintaining the supply of electricity for a prolonged period of time.

With the application of Flame-O-Guard-C the toxic gases given off during combustion of plastic sheathing are also significantly reduced. The coating is extremely easy to apply and remains permanently flexible. It takes up no additional space and allows easy installation of additional wiring.
