● Excellent flame retardancy

● Dry hand

● Compatible with a wide range of latexes

● Soluble in water in all proportions

● Excellent durability to drycleaning

FlameGard DSH is a blend of inorganic flame retardant salts which produce a dry hand and is markedly less hydroscopic than most other flame retardant salts. It is recommended as a general purpose flame retardant effective on a wide range of fibers including cellulosics, synthetics and blends.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

HOW MUCH TO USE

This will vary depending on fiber content, weight, construction, and most important flame test requirements. As a general recommendation to pass a 12 second ignition vertical flame test we suggest the following

PROCEDURE

All finishing auxiliaries should be added to at least 75% of required water, followed by addition of FlameGard DSH and the both brought to final dilution.

APPLICATION

Application is made by padding followed by drying, no curing is necessary. If resins are used, no catalyst is required and normal resin curing conditions can be used.

HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS

Direct contact with skin or eyes may cause irritation. If this occurs, flush thoroughly with a gentle stream of water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention.

Small spill - mop up or absorb on inert material. Large spill - confine and collect. Disposal of this material, its mixtures, rinsings and spill residues must be in accordance with local state and federal regulation.

The usual precautions in keeping chemicals away from the skin and eyes, avoiding ingestion and prolonged inhalation of their vapors should be observed.

For more details on handling recommendations, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet.

STORAGE

If exposed to temperatures below 32℉/0℃ for long periods, may freeze. If this occurs, allow to thaw at room temperature and mix well before using.
