FR additive is added to plastisol inks at up to 10% by weight to help the inks resist burning. (Keep in mind that the combination of the ink printed on the fabric has to pass a burn test to be approved, not the ink alone.) Rutland Flame Retardant Plastisol (Our MR series and or product made by adding 10% of our Flame Retardant Additive to our standard opaque plastisols) is a self extinguishing material if the material has been properly fused. However, it is up to the printer to have the composite of the flame retardant garment and the flame retardant ink tested and certified as a unit to pass the appropriate burn test. Rutland can certify only the flame resistance of the Rutland's Flame Retarded plastisol product or the product if mixed with proper ratio of Flame Retardant additive and cannot guarantee that it will Flame Retard the textile article that it may be printed onto. Rutland cannot guarantee the Flame Retardancy of the plastisol if it has been modified, diluted or blended with other products before printing. The exception to this is the mixing of the proper ratio of Rutland's M00023 Flame Retardant Additive into the M2 and or Rutland's other opaque printing inks.
