SPECIAL ADVICE
- The flame retardant finish is capable of withstanding a water soak but is not resistant to a machine washing cycle.
- For Crib 5 ignition source requirements heavier fabrics above 200g/m2 are recommended.
- The fabrics should be well prepared in order to achieve full penetration of flame retardant.
- The treated fabric must be fully dried prior to the baking stage in order to avoid loss of chemical.
PROCESSING
Flamgard UCR should be added to the bath with continual stirring..
Drying is normally carried out between 120-140°C.
