Demonstration

This simple demonstration is a good visual aid. We took two strips of marquee canvas and treated one with msl Firecheck.

Within seconds the untreated canvas is ablaze.

A fine spray of msl Firecheck was administered to the second strip. After 4 minutes the canvas begins to blacken. However no flames are able to form.
