Treating absorbent materials with msl Timbercheck creates an invisible, fire retardant layer. msl Timbercheck has non-flammable properties, which become part of the substrate, restricting ignition and the spread of flame. It will not wash out from the surface of the substrate after drying, it is not converted into smoke when exposed to high temperatures, and carbon char is restricted to the immediate area. Materials treated with msl Timbercheck when exposed to temperatures of up to 1700 C are subject to charcoal forming, severely restricting the spread of flame.
