Flame retardant for synthetic scenic fabrics

Flamex SF is a professional water-based flame retardant for synthetic textiles — polyester, nylon and synthetic stage drapes. For the 3.8 L size, Rosco now recommends Flamex MC, which treats the same synthetic fabrics plus additional scenic materials.

Choosing

Best for — and the alternatives

Flamex SF is best for

  • Synthetic fabrics — polyester and nylon
  • Dedicated treatment for synthetic scenic textiles
  • Synthetic stage curtains and drapes
  • Available in the 19 L size

Consider Flamex MC instead

For most jobs — especially the smaller size — Flamex MC covers the same synthetic fabrics while also treating other scenic materials:

  • Flamex MC → synthetics plus wood, paper & foam
  • Flamex NF → natural fabrics (cotton, muslin)
  • Flamex DF → delicate fabrics (silk, chiffon)
The hard numbers

Flamex SF specifications

For mixed scenic substrates, Flamex MC simplifies stockholding by covering synthetics and other materials in one product. Always test on an offcut first.

Need help specifying?

Treatment depends on the material, the venue's fire requirements and the application method. Talk to us before you treat a whole build.

Flame retardants reduce flammability; they do not make materials fireproof. Always test on a sample and follow the venue's fire authority requirements and the product data sheet.
