Films Protection Company is a fire retardant protection film manufacturer producing flame retardant temporary protection film for construction, renovation, marine refit, and industrial maintenance sites. The film helps reduce ignition risk and slow flame propagation while protecting finished floors, wall panels, glass, metal, doors, stairs, and equipment from dust, scratches, paint mist, and work traffic. It is temporary site protection, not a fireproof barrier or high temperature PET film.
Product Overview
A fire retardant protection film is used when standard protective rolls cannot meet the safety expectations of controlled work areas. The film combines a PE base layer, flame-retardant additives, and either low-residue acrylic adhesive or lay-flat backing. Adhesive grades normally use 8-25 g/m2 coating weight, with peel adhesion around 0.3-2.5 N/25 mm on glass, coated metal, tile, or fully cured floors, balancing holding power with clean removal.
Light and medium grades from 80-250 um suit coated panels, doors, glass, tile, painted metal, and finished floors. Heavy-duty grades from 250-1000 um are used for lift lobbies, walkways, ship cabins, dockside work, shutdown maintenance, and routes exposed to carts, ladders, or dragging tools. If a project asks for NFPA 701 temporary protection film, DIN 4102 B1, EN 13501-1, LPS 1207, or another flame propagation reference, the grade should match the required report, surface condition, installation method, and removal cycle.
Benefits
- Helps reduce easy ignition and delay flame spread compared with regular protection film.
- Covers floors, walls, stairs, doors, glass, metal panels, and equipment without heavy installation.
- Flame-retardant additives are built into the material system, not used as a surface claim.
- Optional anti-slip embossed texture improves footing in corridors, lift lobbies, and access routes.
- Low-residue adhesive supports clean removal after 30-90 days under suitable site conditions.
- 24-72 h sample testing checks residue, edge lifting, coating marks, staining, and removal behavior.
- Heavy-duty grades resist puncture, abrasion, carts, ladders, dragging tools, and renovation traffic.
- Supports safer covering but does not replace fire blankets, hot-work permits, sprinklers, or fire-rated materials.
How does fire retardant protection film support safer temporary work areas during construction and renovation?
Construction and renovation areas often need more than scratch protection. Temporary covering may pass through corridors, lift areas, technical rooms, healthcare spaces, ship interiors, equipment rooms, and public building zones where surface protection and fire-control records are reviewed together. This FR grade protects finished surfaces while supporting site safety requirements. Before installation, check thickness, adhesive level, surface texture, puncture exposure, removal period, and available test report. In busy routes, overlaps should be pressed flat, edges secured, and damaged sections replaced quickly.

What is the difference between regular protection film and flame retardant temporary protection film?
Regular protection film mainly prevents scratches, dust, overspray, and handling marks. An FR PE grade adds a safety-related function through the base film and additive package. The material is designed to reduce easy ignition and slow flame propagation under defined test conditions, making it suitable when contractors, engineers, site managers, or safety officers ask for fire-safety documentation. Selection should not depend only on color or thickness. A suitable grade should also consider surface type, residue risk, anti-slip need, puncture exposure, removal cycle, and whether NFPA 701, B1, EN, or LPS documents are required.

FAQ
Is fire retardant protection film fireproof?
No. It is flame retardant temporary protection, not a fireproof barrier. It helps delay flame spread under test conditions but cannot remove all fire risk.
Can it be used as high temperature PET film?
No. This product is for temporary surface protection on worksites. It is not designed for continuous high-temperature processing.
How long can the film stay on a surface?
Typical removal time is 30-90 days, depending on surface curing, temperature, humidity, sunlight, and site contamination.
Should a sample be tested before installation?
Yes. A 24-72 h test is recommended to check adhesion, residue, edge lifting, surface marks, and removal behavior.
