Why and how to fire-retardant artificial plants ? – Alfaflor

19 October 2020

Artificial foliage is treated because premises open to the public require the M1 classification on decorative items. EUROFLOR gives it to foliage in 100% polypropylene 70 g/m² and 100% polyester 175 g/m², under LNE classification test report no. P258195 – DEC/2. That classification lasts one year: annual re-treatment is required to maintain it.

Fire-retardant treatment artificial plants is mandatory to meet certain standards and to be installed in places open to the public.

Regulation in Establishments open to the public

Artificial plants have many advantages that make them the preferred choice when designing public spaces. However, they must meet certain standards to be able to be installed. Indeed, most often composed of tergal and wood, they are flammable, and unlike natural plants, they require fire-retardant treatment. EOP (establishments open to the public) are required to comply with numerous standards for the protection of visitors. Artificial plants must therefore meet the M1 fire standard.

Which product should be used to fire-retardant artificial plants? 

We have developed a flame retardant product specifically for artificial plants. We focused on ease of handling and use. The format is 450mL in sprayer form.

To help you determine how much product you should order and use, we have put together a scale on the product sheet. Before ordering your product, indicate the type of plant to be treated and its size, so our scale will tell you the quantity of product to use without having to weigh them or know their exact dimensions. Once you have referred to the scale, you will know the number of sprays recommended for the plant.

How can artificial plants be treated with a fire retardant  ?

The application is very simple; you just need to spray the plant double-sided until saturation (dripping).

Your plant will then be classified permanently fire-retardant.
