FAQs

What are the benefits of flame retardant polythene?

Flame retardant polythene is manufactured to deliver many benefits, such as:

  • Emits less smoke and fumes when exposed to flames compared to standard polythene.
  • Special additives help reduce the speed at which flames travel across the material.
  • Helps protect people, equipment, and stock across many different industries.
  • Retains the strength, flexibility and moisture resistance you expect from polythene.
  • Available as sheeting, tubing, bags, and other products to suit different packaging needs.
  • Can be produced in various widths, gauges, colours and printed formats.
How quickly will my order arrive?

Stocked flame retardant sheeting ordered before 2pm is normally dispatched the next working day (some remote areas of Scotland and Ireland are excluded). Bespoke-sized or printed orders have longer lead times, which we will confirm alongside your quote.

Can you supply coloured or printed flame retardant polythene?
Yes. Our flame-retardant polythene can be produced in a range of colours and printed with logos, safety information, or site instructions. Please let us know your specification requirements.
Do you provide free samples?
We’re happy to provide sample material so you can review suitability for your intended application. This also allows you to confirm the fire-rated specification before placing a full order.
Do you offer bulk pricing or contracts?
Pricing becomes more competitive with higher volumes and repeat supply. We can discuss forecasted usage and delivery planning to agree on the most cost-effective quantities for your project or ongoing requirements.
Can I set up recurring deliveries?
We can set up call-off orders or scheduled deliveries to ensure you have consistent access to flame-retardant sheeting when you need it. Our team will work with you to align production and delivery timings with your site schedule.
