One of very few products worldwide rated to pass not only NFPA 701, but also ASTM E-84, and CAN2-4.2-M77.

MicroSeal's Flame Retardant is a Class A, durable, non-toxic, non-allergenic fire retardant chemical coating which is carried in an aguenous (water) solution. When completely dried and cured, it is both odorless and colorless and is visible only under a long wave ultra violet light. When applied and cured for 48 hours, it will resist flame under the most adverse conditions. MicroSeal’s Flame Retardant can be applied to a wide variety of items, including carpeting, bedding, mattresses, upholstery, draperies, paper, and lumber. This product meets or exceeds the criteria for a Class A rating on most materials.

What is a Class A fire retardant?
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are two nationally recognized organizations, which have developed tests setting standards of flammability. On a scale of 0-200 (least to most), only those materials with a flame spread of under 25 qualify as Class A Fire Retardants.

How does it work?

Fire spreads as the temperature of the heat source rises to the point of ignition. Initially, the spread is restricted to items in direct contact with the flame. However, when the temperature reaches 1400 degrees, all combustibles and gases ignite in a phenomenon called Flashover. Flashovers can occur in less than 3 minutes. By significantly increasing the ignition point of combustible items, it drastically decreases the danger of fire. How is MicroSeal’s Flame Retardant different from other flame proofing products?
Our product can treat both natural and synthetic materials. It is visible under long wave UV light so that the initial application and any need for reapplication can easily be checked. The product is UV stable and has been demonstrated to significantly inhibit sun fading and sun rot relative to other flame retardants. It dries to an invisible durable protective shield with no residue or rings to change the esthetics of treated Items. When dry it is non corrosive to metal.

Additionally: MicroSeal, (the fabric and carpet protector) meets FAA criteria for permanently sealing in flame proofing. (FAA part 25.83)
