In a society that is able to access any minute piece of data within minutes, even seconds, it’s become second nature to expect to have all the details concerning just about anything. At Certified Flameproofing, we are very cognizant of this tendency in our culture, and we aim to supply our customers with all the pertinent information they seek. Most business owners are relatively unfamiliar with flameproofing and the processes that accompany it. Many times, there are concerns regarding the chemicals used during our fireproofing procedures. Often, we hear questions like, “Are they toxic? Are they safe for our customers? What is the effect on the environment?” Today we want to address those concerns and provide even more information to put our customers’ minds at ease.
We like to assure business owners right from the start that the chemicals used in our flameproofing procedures are both non-toxic and water-based. Additionally, all chemicals are approved by the FDNY.
While this information satisfies many customers, others would like more detailed information. That’s where the materials data sheet comes in. We can provide this document for every chemical we use. Below, you will find the items that are referenced on this data sheet.
