Flamex PF Fireproofing Spray for Fabrics & Upholstery

Protect your indoor environments, public venues, and commercial textiles from rapid ignition with Flamex PF fabric fire retardant spray. Untreated curtains, drapes, and furniture act as fast-burning fuel sources during emergencies. Flamex PF halts this dangerous reaction. This professional-grade, water-based saturant penetrates deeply into porous and semi-porous natural and synthetic fibers. When exposed to extreme heat, the formula instantly releases nitrogen to create a thick carbonaceous char, cutting off the oxygen supply and forcing the material to self-extinguish.

Designed for commercial compliance and residential peace of mind, Flamex PF ensures your property satisfies strict local fire codes. It is laboratory tested and verified by SGS Laboratories to fully comply with NFPA 701 (Flame Propagation Testing for Textiles and Films) and CA Title 19 1237.1 standards. It dries completely odorless, clear, and flexible, ensuring treated materials maintain their original color, texture, and natural drape without stiff residue.

Key Features & Specifications:

  • NFPA 701 Certified Fabric Spray: Verified by accredited third-party labs to meet strict US building and event space fire codes.

  • Invisible Thermal Barrier: Dries completely transparent and clear; will not stain, discolor, or stiffen delicate textiles.

  • Eco-Safe & Non-Toxic Formulation: Non-hazardous water-based chemistry that releases zero harmful fumes or halogenated gases.

  • Versatile Substrate Penetration: Ideal flame retardant spray for curtains, theater stage drapes, banners, clothing, and high-traffic upholstery.

  • Water-Based & Fast-Drying: Dries to the touch in 30-60 minutes (depending on humidity and fabric density), allowing for quick turnaround on bulk projects.

  • Long-Lasting Efficacy: Remains active until the fabric is laundered or heavily saturated with water. No reapplication needed after light cleaning or dry vacuuming.

Why Flamex PF

Fire-retardant treatment without turning fabric into a coated surface

Flamex PF is intended to penetrate compatible fabrics rather than form a thick film. That makes it a practical option when the finished textile still needs to look and feel like fabric.

Reduced Flame Spread

Formulated to improve the flame-retardant performance of compatible untreated fabrics when applied at the proper loading.

Designed for Textiles

Made for porous or semi-porous fabric surfaces rather than masonry, wood, or painted substrates.

Clear Appearance

The treatment is intended to dry clear on suitable fabrics, helping preserve the textile's original look.

Spray-Friendly

Can be applied with suitable spray equipment for even saturation of compatible fabric surfaces.

Project Documentation

Use the product's current technical data and applicable code or venue requirements when documenting a treated installation.

Scales to the Job

Appropriate for small decorative projects or large fabric installations where consistent treatment is needed.

Compatible Uses

Made for absorbent decorative and commercial fabrics

Flamex PF is best suited to fabrics that can absorb the liquid treatment. Always confirm absorbency and finish compatibility before treating a full installation.

  • Curtains and draperies
  • Stage curtains and scenery fabrics
  • Event and exhibit textiles
  • Decorative wall fabrics
  • Natural and synthetic absorbent textiles

Theaters & Performing Arts

Stage curtains, backdrops, masking fabrics, and decorative theater textiles.

Hotels & Hospitality

Decorative draperies and textile features where flame-retardant treatment is required.

Events & Exhibits

Temporary displays, booth fabrics, event drape, and decorative installations.

Schools & Institutions

Curtains, textile displays, and fabric elements subject to facility fire-safety requirements.

Application Overview

A simple process, but fabric preparation matters

For best results, the fabric should be clean, dry, absorbent, and free of treatments that prevent the fire retardant from penetrating the fibers.

1

Test the Fabric

Apply to a small hidden area first and check for color shift, spotting, stiffness, or poor absorption.

2

Prepare the Surface

Fabric should be clean and free of water-repellent, stain-resistant, or other finishes that can block penetration.

3

Apply Evenly

Use suitable spray equipment and apply uniformly so the fabric reaches the treatment level required for the material.

4

Dry Completely

Allow the treated fabric to dry fully before installation, testing, folding, or storage.

Coverage figures are only estimates. The more reliable control is the amount of Flamex PF actually retained by the fabric, because fabric weight, weave, fiber type, absorbency, and existing finishes can change how much product is required.

Technical Information

Product details at a glance

Use the tabs below to review typical product characteristics, test references, application considerations, and storage guidance.

Typical Product Characteristics

  • Water-based fire-retardant treatment for compatible fabric
  • Intended to dry clear on suitable textiles
  • Best suited to porous and semi-porous fabrics
  • Applied by even spray or other approved saturation method

Planning Your Job

Estimate by area, verify by fabric uptake

Square-foot coverage is useful for purchasing, but textiles vary too much for area alone to guarantee the correct treatment amount.

  • Lightweight sheer fabrics generally require less product per square foot.
  • Dense fabrics and heavy drapes generally require more.
  • Repellent or stain-resistant finishes may reduce or prevent absorption.
  • Test a sample before treating the full project.

Typical Planning Range

A commonly referenced planning figure is about 300 sq. ft. per gallon on typical fabric, with higher coverage possible on sheer fabric.

Actual coverage varies. Use the latest product instructions and project-specific testing when exact treatment levels matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Flamex PF fabric questions

Will Flamex PF change the color of the fabric?
It is intended to dry clear on compatible fabrics, but dyes, finishes, fiber type, and absorbency can affect the final appearance. Always perform a small test application first.
Some synthetic fabrics can be treated successfully if they are absorbent enough to accept the product. Highly coated, water-repellent, laminated, or non-porous materials may not be suitable.
It is typically sprayed evenly onto clean, absorbent fabric until the required amount of product has been applied. Application quantity should be based on the current technical instructions and the fabric's uptake.
The important issue is total treatment loading rather than a fixed number of coats. Some fabrics may reach the required uptake in one thorough application while others may need multiple passes.
Cleaning or washing can reduce or remove many topical fire-retardant treatments. If the fabric is cleaned, washed, exposed to heavy moisture, or otherwise altered, it may need to be retreated and re-evaluated.
No. Compliance depends on the exact fabric, treatment amount, test method, venue requirements, and the authority having jurisdiction. Use current documentation and, where required, project-specific testing or certification.
