"Who would have thought he wasn't retardant enough!"The prevention of fire hazards has become increasingly more important in the entertainment industry. No single fire retardant can effectively handle all the materials used in modern stagecraft; but, Rosco manufactures a range of products that offers a solution for all of the most common materials. This booklet will help you select the right Roscoflamex for your project and guide you through the process of treating your scenery. |
Roscoflamex Fire Retardants do not prevent a material from igniting and burning. The goal of fire retardant treatment is to retard ignition and slow the spread of fire. Roscoflamex products achieve this by creating an extinguishing effect. Roscoflamex lowers the ignition temperature of the treated material. When burned, it produces inert gases which retard the production of oxygen and develops a non-combustible char. Materials that have been successfully treated may ignite, but will self-extinguish within two seconds after the flame has been withdrawn.
