Is MHE water resistant?
Yes, MHE powder compounded into materials as a filler is completely water resistant. When used as a surface treatment of fibrous materials, MHE is resistant to water within everyday circumstances such as normal rain, rinsing and moderate sluicing. Should a surface be exposed to high pressure cleaning, then a reapplication is necessary to assure 100% fire protection. 7. Can textiles treated with MHE be washed? Surface treated textiles can be rinsed in water so long as no detergents are added. MHE is dissolved when exposed to detergents and would then need to be reapplied. 8. How does MHE work in plastics? TMHE works excellently in plastics where it is added as a soft coated and uncoated powder. MHE offers a double functionality also in plastics, being both cooling and intumescent. When exposed to a direct flame, a layer or crust of tar develops which works to completely stop the fire from spreading into the material.
