paulears Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Useful stuff, but you need the fire retardant version, which is quite expensive, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qexev Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Useful stuff, but you need the fire retardant version, which is quite expensive, isn't it? paint coating provides protection against fire http://I.piccy.info/i9/5688d4dbf554aa2ca92dba5675965059/1460310137/22680/982426/IMG_6268_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/37b296ddcda250b48a4d37a0b173b11a/1460231323/37770/982426/rozhzhzh_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/178d73f9ffa11fca6ec30c4b9c609500/1460219310/21644/982426/zver2_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/2495db3898d228ef8590bd9696d3ac3b/1459978879/24591/982426/IMG_6180_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/80101936c3f33fbd57af23aad624dc84/1459978829/30057/982426/IMG_6184_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/b6595d11554494ca0fd69064987b64fa/1460933918/33744/982426/IMG_6302_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/e579a88c25a54a192208325ff4c6e6b4/1460934394/37451/982426/IMG_6299_500.jpg http://I.piccy.info/i9/cf60b315af2f06f318c2d1b1a0e25215/1460934294/38104/982426/IMG_6300_500.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't be silly! This type of foam is not suitable for theatrical use unless it has the retardant additives in the mix. The basic foam doesn't. Paint is useless as a retarder, because props made from these things can easily come into contact with hot lighting - which melts on contact - breaking the paint seal. Products made from this foam would not be allowed in many venues in the UK, who have stringent fire safety protection. The use of foam products is strictly controlled here. It used to be very common, and polystyrene props too, but the fire risk makes these products very problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It may be of some use if you get in contact with Foamline who appear to be the only Russian makers of Europur/Certipur certified safe foams though it is Polyurethane rather than Polyethylene. Rather than just turn you down flat, which as Paul says is the sensible response you will get from 99% of BR members, you should learn more about what is acceptable in our industry. When you can then foam with a maximum temperature tolerance of 60 to 90 degrees just will not cut it. Give Foamline a call, +7 (495) 660-41-50 60А Dmitrovskoye shosse, Moscow.

qexev Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 thank you very much for your kindly replyhttp://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif This technology is adapted for theatrical performances in the open space outside the walls of the theaterfor outdoor festivals, beach, etc. The ability to create low-cost large-size objects that are not poryat from moisture, rain and other environmental impacts as in the theater, we used this material as the stones that lie in the real natural water, an imitation of the stream over the water. where there can be no contact with lighting fixtures http://I.piccy.info/i9/e1702d1d00dcf64e1ad545086498b8dc/1462198925/26131/982426/rubl_500.jpghttp://I.piccy.info/a3/2016-05-02-14-22/i9-9759418/500x334-r/I.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam2 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 As others have posted, non fire retardant foam will not be acceptable under most circumstances in most UK venues. There might reasonably be exceptions of course, such as for outdoor venues where escape is easy and smoke build up unlikely to be a problem. But in general it would not be accepted, painting helps only very marginally for reasons already given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Having had a father who thought it would be a good idea to dispose of a load of 1970s upholstery on a garden incinerator, I wouldn't want to see combustable foam used even in an outside venue. The audience might be able to get away quickly enough, but the smoke could still obstruct or harm firefighters trying to get to the seat of the fire.

musht Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Fire Retardent foams are used in all sorts of things , including critcal applications like aircraft seating, http://www.qualityfoam.com/fire-retardant-foam.asp FR grade tends to add quite a lot on to cost. may have noticed most electronics is packaged in polyethelyne foam rather tha polystyrene now, polystyrene packing banned in some places as it is far harder to recycle than polyethelene. The O.P. might try here as well http://www.therpf.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
