msl Firecheck

Firecheck has been tested to effectively fire retard many natural and synthetic materials including; cardboard, untreated wood, polystyrene, Hessian, foam rubber and any other item that can absorb it.

Treating absorbent materials with msl Firecheck creates an invisible, fire retardant layer instantly. When exposed to a heat source msl Firecheck forms a carbonized shield deflecting heat.

Firecheck can treat many natural fabrics including; cotton, wool and cotton back daylong. Synthetic fabrics include nylon and mixed fibres such as cotton/polyester. Unfortunately Firecheck will not treat rip stop nylon. As new fabrics are frequently introduced into the market place we recommend testing a small sample or inconspicuous area of the fabric before a full treatment is applied.

Firecheck can also be used to fire proof scenic flats before painting or alternatively when using powder or concentrated scenic paints use Firecheck to dilute instead of water.

For the treatment of wood we recommend msl Timbercheck.

Firecheck will not treat waxed cardboard, plastics, waterproofed fabrics and painted or varnished services. However a range of products are available which may be able to solve the problem so please contact us for advice.

msl Firecheck is very economical. 1 litre covers between 10-12m2. msl Firecheck is supplied ready for use, do not dilute any further.
