Flame retardant (FR)

Our standard finishes are not always sufficient for your needs. That is why some of our designs are also available on request in the special “flame retardant” finish on other substrates. We mark those products that we manufacture according to flame-retardant standards with the abbreviation FR . The abbreviation is derived from the term “flame retardant“.

Backs of one flame retardant and one non-adhesive decorative panel against black background — Back side flame retardant and NA; Worth knowing: All our FR products have a white reverse side

When do we speak of flame retardant?

In Austria, we speak of “flame retardant” when our products comply with the fire protection regulations of EN 13501-1 (European standard) or ASTM E 84 (American standard), i.e. they are basically flammable but do not continue to burn independently. Factors such as smoke development and dripping are also taken into account.

Please take into account that there are different fire safety regulations from country to country and even between the respective federal states.

Where is this special equipment used?

The extensive range of applications for our flame-retardant designs extends from the hotel industry (escape routes, for instance, often have to be equipped with flame-retardant features) to stage construction. Our FR designs can also be used in stores or public areas. In this case, the different legal country-specific requirements must be observed.

What makes the designs flame retardant?

For our FR – design sheets we use 1 mm white HPVC as backing material, which makes them flame retardant. The back is available self-adhesive (SA) and non-adhesive (NA). It should be taken into account that the panels must be glued to substrates that comply with the fire classification A2 – s1, d0 according to EN1350-1- in order to achieve a fire performance of B – s2 – d0. For non-adhesive FR products in this case we recommend our SIBUKLE.

Is any design available for purchase as flame retardant?

Since not all of our surfaces are suitable for the substrate HPVC or do not meet the standards of EN 1350-1, only some of our designs are available for purchase as FR products.
