Using Roscoflamex PC
Roscoflamex PC has been premixed and does not require any further dilution. The method of application and the amount of Roscoflamex PC required for sufficient treatment varies with the materials in use. Some discoloration and wrinkling of paper products may occur as the paper materials dry. Multiple light treatments will minimize this.
Coverage
One gallon of Roscoflamex PC will treat approximately 400 square feet (37 square meters) of 90lb paper. Usage will vary with weight and thickness of material.
Applying Roscoflamex PC
- Dipping: This is the most efficient method of impregnation. Immerse completely for ten minutes, and hang to dry.
- Brushing: Using a wide lay-in brush, brush the Flamex solution into the fibers of the material being treated. Brush in the solution using a criss-crossing pattern to insure adequate absorption.
- Spraying: In a spray application, it is very important that an adequate amount of the Flamex be absorbed. In calculating the amount of solution needed, remember that a substantial portion of the spray will not fall on the fabric. Use a Hudson-type sprayer with a medium nozzle setting. For best results, hang the material to be treated and spray in a back and forth pattern starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top of the fabric sample.
Certification and Testing
Roscoflamex PC has been approved for use by the California State Fire Marshall #C-25001 and FDNY Fire Marshall COA #5809 and has been tested according to NFPA 701.
Storage
Store Flamex products in non-metallic containers. When metal sprayers are used, they should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after use, including nozzles and accessories. Avoid use of metal buckets or paint containers when possible.
