Flame retarding treatment for cinema curtains

Flame retarding treatment for cinema curtains

Over the last 20 years, the range of scenic, props and costume materials used in entertainment and architectural design has grown dramatically. More than just canvas, muslin, velours and polyester fabrics, scenic artisans now use exotic blends of fibers, complex weaves and purely synthetic fabrics as well as woods, composites, pulped sheets, plastics, papers, cardboards and almost any other material they can find. And each one of these materials, when used on stage or in public assembly, must meet local requirements for flame retardance. This can often be achieved with the professional application of the appropriate flame retardant spray for cinema and theatre fabrics.
