Are the muslin backdrops fire-retardant? The reason I inquire, is that I was considering using the green-screen backdrop at a Bridal/Travel show to take pictures in our agency's booth, but the venue stipulates they must be labeled fire-retardant or no-go. I didn't find anything that would confirm it, so I'll look for something specifically labeled such. Thanks for the responses. Are the muslin backdrops fire-retardant?

The material is comprised of vinyl and plastic components, thus I don't believe it could be fire retardant, but I suggest you to go through a further research to confirm it.

In fairness I haven't tried setting them on fire but I think they are flammable.

I am sorry I cannot answer that honestly. I have never had an issue with them but I never have a lamp touching them or fire near them. Sorry

I just don't trust the company, honestly I think they say different stuff to different people to "cover their butts". I saw they told a girl that it wouldn't be good because she was too pale, they also told someone it would be bad because she had freckles, they also tell people with olive skin that it won't work for them... when it fact it does, it just burns their skin off (my case, and I have light olive skin). The girl with the very pale skin also had severe burns. The devices have a "sensor" that won't allow the device to work if your skin is too dark... I'm not very dark at all so the device worked. I would honestly just go with another device from another company, this company is a master scam and they won't take responsibility if something goes wrong because they have really covered themselves paperwork wise with confusing and contradicting fine print in the manual. I still have my scars and they are not going away...

I am sure there are but wasn't a concern of mine since I don't allow my 3 year old to spark up a cigarette in bed. Also, it wasn't a concern of mine because I f there was a fire that close to the bed does it matter if this has a fire retardant or not? It is a soft foam and therefore made through a chemical process. If you are concerned about smell (either from the chemical application of fire retardant or the foam itself), there is a smell from this product for a couple days but dissipates quickly.

It depends on what you want and what direction you are facing in and are you planning on doing it in direct sunlight or in the shade? For outdoor I'd just get the paper or male your own creative backdrop leave the muslin cloth for studio work .

I haven't tried the other, but this one works well however it is a little thin. I use the supports but mostly with other backdrops that are a little thicker. the green screen does work, but it has to be up against a solid background like a wall with no light to work best.

The protector serves 2 purposes. When you lay it on the floor, it keeps dirt off of the back of your backdrop and second, it blocks any backlight from spilling unto the back of your backdrop. A protector may NOT be needed, depending on setup and use, but if you are shoot full length, they help. You don't wash a muslin so consider the cleaning aspect too. They WILL shrink!

Totally! I've had no problems washing all my muslin backdrops. Make sure to wash it by itself, the color will spread to other fabrics.

Is this not a redundant question that answers itself. The Muslin's are made out of Muslin material :)

It's my understanding that Haba does not use flame retardants but honestly I can't be 100% certain. I did not directly ask the company before purchasing. If you do find out it meets your criteria I would definitely recommend this tent! The size is good (and tall enough for me to sit in it) and we've spent hours playing in it.

You would use 2 backdrops side by sideI ended up buying 2 rolls of tech green screen (about $7 each) because the included backdrops are cloth and i had animals near the set so i didn't want the hair sticking to the backdropHope that helps

I am not sure if there is a fire retardant or not, but if you call the company, they will answer any questions you may have. I called them many times before I bought my mattress. I have had it over a year now and I am very happy with it. http://www.lucidmattress.com

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. No, our products do not contain flame retardants or flame retardant barriers. Although we do pass (and sometimes are above and beyond) all Federal and State flammability standards. And, yes, newmom, you did see us on the Healthy Child Healthy World website. They recommend us.

This tent is made with material that is known for it's fire retardant properties. However, the manufacturer has not submitted the tent for testing, therefore, we do not have a certificate to provide.

Hi Sonia. Thank you for your inquiry. We use the highest quality of materials on the market and our products are made specifically for us. We do not add flame retardants to the finish.

I think the product description says that it is fire retardant. I have dropped a couple of hot coal on it and the mat did not burn. I bought the product to protect my deck and so far it has worked perfectly.

It appears that they are not. Here is a link to a blog where someone wrote and asked them: ladyplusbaby.com/?tag=halo-response-about-fire-retardant ...it's on the ladyplusbaby website and is a post tagged "halo-response-about-fire-retardant"...in case the weblink is blocked. On that page is posted these emails from Halo: Randall, Polyester is a natural flame retardant fabric; therefore all our fleece and comfort mesh items pass the standards with out flame retardant chemicals. Our cotton sleepsacks are made without the chemicals but can only pass the standards in the smaller sizes. This is the reason they are only made in these sizes. The flame resistance standards for children's sleepwear gets stricter as the sizes get larger. This is due to the mobility of the child increasing with size. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Christy Halo Innovations Customer Service ---------------------------------------------- Hello Randall, We do not use any flame resistance chemicals on any of our items. They pass the minimum standards for flame resistance without the use of chemicals. The standards are different based upon the size and mobility of the child therefore, the standards for larger or older children are more strict than for infants. This is why some of our products are only available in certain sizes. There are different CPSC levels of FR standards. The SleepSack wearable blanket falls into category 1610 which is for bedding categories. IF we were in a pajama category which is 1615 then the cotton SleepSacks would not pass without treatment. If you would like to learn more about this please visit the CPSC web site. http://www.cpsc.gov/ Regards, Karen Customer Service Halo Innovations Also on the Halosleep FAQ page, they say they are not chemically treated also. Hope that helps.

This YouTube Video is very good on every size collapsible backdrops. I refer to this often because I tend to forget how to do it. I hope this helps? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKVaz_95RjE
