Fire Retardant Video Demonstration(TRANSCRIPT) Introducing Fire'z Off, the revolutionary new fire retardant that not only helps protect your home, business and the ones you love from the ravages of fire, but is also better for the you and the environment than traditional flame retardants. Fire'z Off is the only truly 'green' fire retardant available to the public - completely non-toxic, plant-based, and biodegradable. Each year, fire costs our economy a staggering $317 billion dollars in damages, insurance, protection services, and loss of life. Each year, fire departments respond to more than 400,000 home fires, claiming the lives of 2,700 people and injuring more than 13,000. Ask any fire marshal - most fires don't have to happen. In this case, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure.
The end result for most fire retardants is that when applied to an object, the burning process is slowed down, giving people inside time to escape and giving firefighters more time to quench the fire. Fire retardants have been used for years, and began to be required in certain fabrics and materials beginning the 1970's. Unfortunately, most of the retardants still in use today have been shown to be
Chemicals know as polybrominated diphenyl ethers or PBDE's are still in wide use today. Although still in use in the United States, they have been banned in countries like Sweden where were found to be accumulating in women's breast milk. Nearly all Americans have tested positive for traces of fire retardants in their bodies. But Fire'z Off contains no brominated ethers and no volatile organic compounds. It's completely biodegradable, non-toxic and plant based. It even helps to deter mold growth and insect damage. The formula for Fire'z Off has been tested to ASTM E84 standards and has a Class A rating for surface burning characteristics of building materials - the highest rating available. It's perfect for fabrics, wood, paper, construction material, and nearly anything else that it can soak into. That means uniforms and work clothes, drapes and other hanging fabric, upholstery, carpeting, boxes, decorations, packing materials, wood furniture, building and framing materials, roof decking. It can even be mixed 50/50 with latex paint to create a fire resistant paint.
Here is a simple paper towel. When you take a lighter to it, the towel goes up in flames immediately. But a paper towel treated with a few squirts of Fire'z Off will scorch, but not ignite. Likewise, a section of canvas cloth will also quickly ignite. But not the treated sample treated. This sample was soaked with Fire'z Off two days prior to this demonstration and allowed to completely air dry. Even when a blow torch is taken to the fabric, the flame refuses to spread. This is a thin piece of balsa wood, treated with Fire'z Off. See how quickly the fire self-extinguishes after the torch is removed. Now let's do the same thing with a piece of balsa that has been painted with a 50/50 mixture of common latex paint and Fire'z Off. See how the fire quickly self-extinguishes. Keep in mind that Fire'z Off will NOT be effective on items that it cannot soak into, like plastics and vinyls, highly polished or lacquered woods, silk or plastic flowers, or very thin fabrics. It is effective on many man-made fabrics, but organic materials are best. As always, it is best to test on a small sample first. Fire'z Off - the eco-friendly fire retardant for the 21st century!
