Flamex WD Raw Wood

Use Flamex WD to treat wood and cellulosic materials. Plywood, board stock, sheet goods, hay, acoustical tile and other common materials can all be rendered flame retardant with Flamex WD. After the Flamex treatment has dried fully, wood materials can be painted or stained without affecting the flame retardance.

Using Flamex WD
Rosco Flamex WD has been premixed and does not require any further dilution. The method of application and the amount of Flamex required for sufficient treatment varies with the materials in use.

Coverage
One gallon of Flamex WD will treat approximately 150-200 square feet (14-18.5 square meters) of material.

Applying Flamex

• 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. Saturate the material, allow to absorb and then reapply a second treatment.
  
  
• 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 material. Use a Hudson-type sprayer with a medium nozzle setting. Saturate the material, allow to absorb and then reapply a second treatment.

Certification and Testing
Flamex WD has been approved for use by the California and New York City Fire Marshall and has been tested according to ASTM E84 Class B.
