Flame retardant spray

Why is it important to impregnate materials and make them flame resistant? The moment you decide to impregnate materials, you instantly lower the risk of these materials acting as an accelerant during a fire. Impregnated materials are flame resistant, catch fire much slower and allow extra time to vacate the site. This allows your property to be saved on time.

"In the United Kingdom alone, government scientists
have estimated that more than 3,000 lives were saved
in the period from 1988 – 2000 as a result of flame retardants"

Flame-protected products can be found in various areas:

• Buildings (insulation material, water pipes, facade facings)

Applications and use of BURNSTOP®

Most materials are combustible and the effects of fire are well known. These effects are largely preventable by applying BURNSTOP® to combustible materials. Impregnated materials are significantly less flammable after treatment. This is confirmed by highly esteemed approval reports.

Absorbent textiles (e.g. curtains, paper, carpets, decorative objects) as well as reed, cardboard and wood are protected against fire by applying BURNSTOP®. BURNSTOP® is a valued product in the catering industry, at fairs, in hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Theatres use the BURNSTOP® flame resistant spray to protect their decor against fire. The product is also widely used in the renovation industry.

A big advantage of BURNSTOP® is the fact, that you can apply the product yourself to the materials you wish to treat. That way you can decide the dosage yourself. The biggest advantage is, that your fire retardant treatment of materials will be certified by us. BURNSTOP® comes with a certificate of treatment, which you can fill in yourself and show to your insurance company or the fire department!

Health concerns? BURNSTOP® is supersafe!

Flame retardants have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. The earliest flame retardants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned in 1977, when it was discovered that they were toxic. Industries then started using brominated flame retardants instead, but these substances have currently come under scrutiny. The EU has banned several types of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBEs) in 2008, 10 years after Sweden discovered that they were accumulating in breast milk. Nearly all tested Americans have trace levels of flame retardants in their body.

Recent research links some of this exposure to dust on television sets, which may have been generated from the TV heating up the flame retardants on the TV set. Careless disposal of TVs and other appliances, such as microwaves or old computers, may greatly increase the amount of environmental contamination. BURNSTOP® is a odour- and colourless water based product and contains neither bromine compounds nor propellants!
