Have a client who wants to import furniture which he rents for events, but requires a fire proofing/ label   ??/ and presumablty fire proofing. I can vaguly remember a product that was sprayed on fabric too achieve this.  Any one any ideas or who to speak to. Thanks Simon

Flametect , I believe is the best solution.

2 things spring to mind.

The word fireproofing is best not to be used, no substance is really fire proof, the correct term, and for your protection always say
flame retardant, you will slow down the rate of burn but never fire proof anything , not even concrete!

With upholstery you can flame retard the fabric, but the regulations also require the foam/ filling to  be  protected, so I would be careful of someone passing liability to you.

You need to check out the 'Furniture & Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations. Especially when it comes to imported stuff. Soft furnishings don't just have the coverings to meet said specifications but also 'fillings'. So you need to be pretty conversant with all the possible types of material you will be faced with

Try craftex

Craftex don't do a flame retardent anymore. There are some available on line. However as has been said I would be very reluctant to get involved with this as spraying a topical flame retardent on the fabric would not suffice to satisfy the regulations. Flame retardents are basically a salts solution and as the carrier fluid evaporates off the salt crystals are left in the fibres. This causes the flames to splutter rather than spread rapidly. However as mentioned a big part of the regulations regards the filling and foam.
