READY TO USE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE LISTED BELOW
Users of this product must determine the suitability of this product for its intended use. Do not use an airless
sprayer as the pressure can atomize the product, which can prevent proper performance. Recommend wear of
chemical resistant gloves, goggles and N95 mask for protection. Fire-Poof is ready to use. Pre-vacuuming or
cleaning may be needed prior to application. Test for dye stability in inconspicuous area. Some unstable dyes,
especially reds are prone to bleeding. We are not responsible for any aesthetic changes that may occur. Apply to
clean surface free of dust and dirt with a, “Hudson” type orchard sprayer with a fan spray tip at 40-100 PSI. Spray
all exposed surfaces. Other coatings, glue, etc. can increase flame spread and must be tested as a system.
For Fabric: 200-800 square feet per gallon depending on the fiber content and density of the item being treated. All
surfaces must be free of dirt or coatings. Testing results by a trained professional will determine chemical amount and
cure time if needed. May need to be applied to both sides of the textile to ensure all areas are treated with Fire-Poof™.
Not effective on 100% nylon, acetate, acrylic, plastic, metal or surfaces with water, glue or stain / water repellent.
Sizing, oil and dirt can also prevent absorption. May be effective over scenic paint, but must be tested for use with
specific paint being
For Wood: All wood must be free from coatings such as paint, sealant or dirt. Apply 150 square feet per gallon to raw
wood to achieve Class A or Class 1 rating and 250 sq. ft./gal. for Class B or Class 2 rating. Birch plywood must be
submerged for 14 hours allowing Fire-Poof to penetrate all sides to achieve a Class B or Class 2 rating.
Cardboard: Should be submerged for approximately 1 minute to penetrate to all sides and middle of cardboard.
Length of time may vary to determine effectiveness and desired strength.
Other material: may also need to be submerged until positive results have been achieved. Length of time may
vary depending upon saturation capabilities.
CLEAN-UP:
Flush sprayer and tips with warm water and wash hands with soap and water.
CAUTION:
Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest. Call physician if swallowed. Clean with soap and water all contacted areas. Flush
eyes with chemical eye wash or flush eyes with cool water for at least 15 minutes.
