At Alfaflor, we offer tailor-made solutions for fireproofing fabric, adapted to ERP: performance halls, theaters, hotels, etc. To fireproof curtains, fabric decorations, or other textile elements, we use two techniques: spraying for small quantities, offering rapid and precise application, and soaking for uniform impregnation on large surfaces. Our treatments are M1 certified, guaranteeing that each flame-retardant fabric meets current fire safety standards.

Entrust your materials to us: our treatment, carried out in our workshops, guarantees their compliance with fire safety standards while preserving their integrity and aesthetic appeal.
What is spray fireproofing ?
Spray fireproofing is a fire protection method that involves applying a fire-retardant product directly to the surface of a material using a specialized sprayer. This process aims to delay the spread of flames and improve the fire resistance of the treated materials, whether they are fabrics, wood, cardboard, or other flammable surfaces.
This method is particularly well-suited to large surfaces or materials that require uniform application of the product without altering their appearance or texture. Unlike fireproofing by immersion, which penetrates deep into the material’s fibers, spraying concentrates on the outer layer, thus creating a protective barrier on the surface.
One of the main advantages of fireproofing by spraying is its speed and efficiency.
It allows large quantities of materials to be processed in a relatively short time while using an optimal quantity of product.
This makes it an ideal solution for delicate fabrics or materials requiring temporary or seasonal protection, such as in the context of events or ephemeral structures.
Advantages of fireproofing by spraying
- Speed and efficiency : Spray treatment is particularly suitable for large surfaces, allowing rapid application of the fire retardant product.
- Economical solution: By using less product than other methods, spraying is an economical option for treating large quantities of material.
- Respect for delicate surfaces : This method is less invasive and guarantees gentle treatment for sensitive materials such as light fabrics.
- Compliance with standards: To ensure safety and compliance with current regulations, we use laboratory-tested and M1-certified flame-retardant products, such as our product.
- Flame retardant Eurotextil fabrics,
- Flame retardant Eurocarton cardboard,
- Euroflor fire retardant for artificial plants,
- Eurobois wood fire retardant.
Your questions about fireproofing by spraying
Does spraying damage the material?
No, fireproofing by spraying does not damage materials. This method is designed to be gentle and respectful of treated surfaces. Eurotextil may leave a slightly sticky feel. These effects do not compromise the integrity or functionality of the materials. We ensure that the treatment is carried out precisely to minimize any visual or tactile impact, while guaranteeing effective fire protection.
Is fireproofing by spraying durable?
Spray fireproofing is an effective method providing lifetime fire protection for most materials, including fabrics, wood, and artificial plants.
However, for cardboard, which is a perishable material, the protection is temporary. Fire-retardant treatment on cardboard offers protection for one year, due to its natural degradation and exposure to elements such as humidity and light. It is advisable to monitor the condition of the treated cardboard and consider annual retreatment if necessary.
Does fireproofing by spraying comply with fire safety standards?
Yes, fireproofing by spraying complies with fire safety standards, including the French M1 standard. This standard guarantees that treated materials have adequate fire resistance, thus ensuring the safety of the spaces where they are used. At Alfaflor, we use certified fireproofing products that meet these requirements, offering you effective protection that complies with current regulations.
Fireproofing by dipping
Alfaflor offers a fireproofing service using the dipping method with a scarf technique to guarantee your materials comply with fire safety standards. Our team specializes in treating fabric widths. Entrust us with your projects for optimal treatment and receive your fire-retardant certificate compliant with the M1 standard.
What is dipping fireproofing ?
Dip fireproofing is a fire protection method that involves completely immersing a material in a fire-retardant solution. This technique allows the product to penetrate deep into the material’s fibers, providing more durable and uniform protection against flames. It is particularly effective for absorbent or thick materials such as fabrics, as it allows for the treatment of the entire material, not just its surface.
For fabric, the soaking process is followed by a smearing to remove excess flame retardant. Smearing involves passing the fabric width between two rollers with adjustable pressure to achieve the desired absorption rate of the flame retardant. The fabric is then placed in ovens to dry, leaving a dry and silky appearance. At Alfaflor, we use certified products that meet fire safety standards, such as the M1 standard, to ensure that the treated materials meet the strictest fire resistance requirements. This flame-retardant method is ideal for projects requiring deep protection while maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the materials.
This makes it a particularly suitable solution for materials requiring long-lasting and in-depth protection, such as thick fabrics or wood.
Unlike other faster techniques, fireproofing by immersion is ideal when fire resistance needs to be maintained over the long term, for example for permanent projects or materials requiring enhanced protection.
Advantages of fireproofing by immersion
- In-depth protection and uniformity : The dipping treatment allows complete impregnation of the flame retardant into the materials, guaranteeing homogeneous protection, particularly suitable for thick or absorbent materials such as wood and certain fabrics.
- Sustainable solution: Thanks to total immersion, dipping offers lasting protection, using the optimal amount of product to ensure long-term fire resistance, making it an ideal option for projects requiring enhanced safety.
- Suitable for absorbent materials : This method is perfectly suited to absorbent materials that require deep impregnation, guaranteeing effective protection without altering their integrity.
- Compliance with standards : We use flame retardants that are laboratory tested and certified to the M1 standard to ensure that your materials meet the most stringent fire safety requirements.
Your questions about fireproofing by immersion
Does the dipping treatment change the appearance or texture of the materials?
No, absolutely not. Dipping does not alter the appearance or texture of materials. On the contrary, it offers a particular advantage, especially for fabrics: unlike spray-on flame retardant treatment, dipping leaves no sticky residue. The flame retardant penetrates deep into the material’s fibers, and the drying process ensures a non-sticky finish. This guarantees effective fire protection while maintaining the integrity and natural feel of the fabrics.
What materials can be flame retardant by dipping?
Fireproofing by immersion is particularly well-suited to absorbent materials such as fabrics and wood. These materials benefit greatly from this method, as it allows for deep impregnation of the fire retardant, ensuring long-lasting fire protection. Immersion guarantees a uniform treatment, making it an ideal solution for thick textiles or wooden elements requiring enhanced protection.
How long does the fireproofing process by immersion take?
The duration of the fireproofing immersion process depends on the type and quantity of material being treated. Thicker fabrics or wood may require a longer treatment time to ensure complete impregnation with the fire retardant. However, to obtain an accurate estimate for your project, it is best to contact us as soon as possible. This allows us to schedule the treatment and guarantee that your materials arrive on time for your projects.
