Flame retardants protect you from fire

Why do I need flame retardants? The answer is simple: to save your life and your home! By treating flammable objects in your home with flame retardant, they become flame resistant and do not fan the flames. Every object, which is treated with flame retardant, gives you a little more time to leave the building and save your home.

"Estimates of British government scientists suggest, that between 1988 and 2000 more than 3,000 lives were saved by flame retardants in the United Kingdom"

Products, that are treated with a flame retardant are more common than you might think

Nowadays, plastic products are becoming increasingly popular. These objects are hard to extinguish and are therefore one of the main fields of application of flame retardants. A little spark (from a cigarette, a match or a candle) can ignite a fire. A couch, for instance, can be aflame within as little as 5 minutes. Not only your furniture is in danger though. Toxic fumes and heat generation in your home are extremely life threatening! Objects, that are treated with flame retardants are more common than one might think:

• Buildings (insulation material, water pipes, facade facings)
• Upholstered furniture
• Electronics, for example: Monitor housings, plugs, cables, circuit boards and fuse boxes
• Seats, roof liners and sun shades of Automobiles
• Seats, textiles/carpets, interior cladding and screw heads of Airplanes/trains

The application of the flame retardant BURNSTOP®

Have a look around – almost all materials are combustible and cause disastrous fires. Spray the flame retardant BURNSTOP® on all flammable objects and protect yourself and your home. Flame retardants reduce the combustibility of products, which has been confirmed by a lot of enthusiastic reports.

BURNSTOP® is a flame retardant for all different types of surfaces: impregnate absorbent textiles (like curtains, paper, carpets and decorative objects) and materials like cardboard, wood and reed and protect your belongings from fire. BURNSTOP® is frequently used in the catering industry, at fairs, in hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Theatres use the BURNSTOP® flame retardant in order to protect costly decor against fire. In the renovation industry, the flame retardant is frequently used as well.

Do you think that it is expensive and complicated to have flame retardants applied to your home by a professional? You are right! That is why you simply apply BURNSTOP® yourself! Impregnate your home, make objects flame resistant and decide the dosage of the product. Don't worry, you will not be left alone. Fill in the enclosed certificate yourself and we certify that your possessions have been impregnated. This certificate can be presented to your insurance or the fire department.

Can BURNSTOP® cause health problems? Definitely not!

Flame retardants have been the talk of town recently. In 1977 the first flame retardants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), were banned, when their toxicity was proven. Industries then switched to brominated flame retardants, which are closely examined at the moment. In 2008 the EU banned several types of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBE), as 10 years earlier, Sweden had discovered, that these flame retardants accumulate in breast milk. Traces of flame retardants have in fact be found in the bodies of all tested Americans.

New tests suggest that part of this contamination was caused by dust on television sets, which was generated by the heat caused by the TV, which heated up the flame retardants on the TV set. Therefore, improper disposal of electronic equipment like TVs, microwaves and old computers increases environmental damage significantly. The flame retardant BURNSTOP® is odourless, colourless and a water based product. It does not contain bromine compounds or propellants and can protect your home from fire!
