Flamex PF fabric retardant is specifically formulated to make textiles less combustible and prevent the rapid spread of flames. This chemical preparation significantly enhances fabric safety by improving ignition resistance and reducing the risk of fire accidents.
How Flamex PF Works
How does Flamex PF work? When exposed to heat or flame, Flamex PF releases chemicals that instantly extinguish the fire on the treated material, preventing further spread. This rapid reaction enhances fire safety.
Advantages of Applying Flamex PF
Key Advantages of Flamex PF: Extra Safety: Significantly reduces fire accident risk by increasing fabric safety. Compliance: Ensures treated fabrics meet essential industrial flame-retardancy standards. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of textiles, including clothing, drapes, and upholstery.
By chemically treating these textiles with Flamex PF, we may ensure that our house, office, or place of entertainment is free from the risk of fire accidents and that the requirements of safekeeping are complied with.

FAQ’s
How durable is Flamex PF?
Flamex PF offers long-lasting protection. However, its effectiveness decreases after one wet wash or more than two dry-cleanings, requiring reapplication.
Can I wash fabrics treated with Flamex PF?
If the treated fabric is washed, Flamex PF must be reapplied.
Is Flamex PF compatible with all types of fabrics?
No. Flamex PF is suitable for a wide range of porous and semi-porous fabrics only, and it’s always best to test it on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. Cannot be used on natural silk, and non-porous fibers.
Does Flamex PF have a strong odor?
It has a slight ammonia odor when wet, which dissipates once dry
How long will the treatment last?
If the treated material and stored in a humidity-controlled environment, and has not been washed or dry-cleaned, the treatment can last the lifetime of the material
How is Flamex PF applied?
To apply Flamex PF effectively, follow these steps: 1. Begin by ensuring the material is clean, washed, or vacuumed to remove any dust.
- Make sure that the material has been washed or vacuumed to remove dust.
- Apply with a device that’s capable of spraying a thin liquid or by completely immersing it.
- When applying, start in the upper left corner and apply Flamex PF across from end to end.
- Continue working your way down and across while overlapping each pass.
- After treating one side of the material, confirm that the opposite side is damp.
- If the first side did not penetrate, repeat the application to the opposite side, especially on thicker material.
- Eliminate any folds in order for air to dry the treatment thoroughly.
- Do not use on fully synthetic/non-porous textiles.
Additional Information:
Flamex PF offers a shelf life of up to 5 years when stored correctly (40-110° F). It is designed to be odorless, non-toxic to humans and animals, and releases no harmful fumes. The treatment dries quickly, leaves no residue, and will not alter the color or appearance of the treated material. It meets key standards: NFPA 255, NFPA 701, UL 723, and CA Title 19 1237.1.
