Multi-purpose, Water-based Fire Retardant for Fabrics, Cardboard & Polystyrene
Firecheck Flame retardant is a multi-purpose treatment solution for fire prevention in production studios, used to treat absorbent props, costume, clothing and set.
Firecheck is a non-toxic flame retardant fluid, developed for an extensive range of absorbent materials like fabric, clothing, wood, paper and board. A fine mist of fire retardant spray can be applied to permeable surfaces, both natural and synthetic, to effectively restrict fire damage and spread.
Ideal for mitigating fire risk within production studios, costuming and prop-making departments, Firecheck is colourless and odourless, leaving no reflective shine. Once treated and dried, Firecheck is effectively invisible. The coating forms a carbonised shield, deflecting and diverting heat from the material.
Firecheck comes in a variety of sizes to suit your needs, ranging from a 750ml trigger spray for localised applications to a 5L bottle for larger job. For added convenience, the 5L Applicator pack includes a full 5L bottle along with an empty 750ml trigger spray for easy refilling and targeted use.

Firecheck FAQs
How often does Firecheck need to be applied?
Firecheck™ will last naturally for the useful life of the treated article. However, if it is subjected to heavy use, including scrapes or other damage, or if it comes into contact with water, we recommend a further application.
What standards does firecheck meet?
Firecheck™ has been tested by an independent laboratory. It was awarded a pass for the following standards:
- BS 5852: 1990 for both natural and synthetic fibres.
- BS 5867: part 2: 1980 on both natural and synthetic fibres.
Natural fibres include cotton, wool, and cotton backed draylon. Synthetic fibres include nylon and mixed fibres, including cotton/polyester blends.
Sample test reports for each of these materials are available on request.
How does firecheck work?
Once Firecheck™ is absorbed into the material it forms an invisible barrier layer. This layer forms a carbonised shield under heat, deflecting a lot of the heat and making it harder for the treated material to catch.
