Flame Retardant Polyethylene Film

Fruth's custom Flame Retardant Polyethylene film is used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications that require a protective covering with flame retardant characteristics, including sheeting for construction and electrical insulation. It is also used for aerospace items in long term storage.

Fruth’s flame retardant film contains a special additive that gives the film a “self-extinguishing” property. Flame-Retardant film meets NFPA 701-04, ASTM E84, and CPAI84.

We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer & distributor of standard & custom Flame Retardant Polyethylene Film.

Made in the USA.

Custom Flame Retardant Polyethylene Film for Industrial, Construction & Aerospace Applications

Fruth flame retardant polyethylene film is manufactured with a special self-extinguishing additive that resists ignition and stops burning when a flame source is removed. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, we produce FR PE film to NFPA 701-04, ASTM E84, and CPAI-84 standards — in standard and custom configurations for B2B buyers across construction, electrical, aerospace, and industrial markets.

Common applications include:

  • Construction sheeting — temporary protective barriers and enclosures requiring flame-spread compliance
  • Electrical insulation — cable wraps, conduit liners, and protective sleeving in fire-rated installations
  • Aerospace storage — FR protective covers and wraps for aircraft components and assemblies
  • Industrial equipment covers — flame retardant protection for machinery, pallets, and sensitive equipment
  • Military and defense — FR packaging and protective film for regulated storage environments
  • Event and tent structures — CPAI-84 compliant film for temporary commercial structures

How Flame Retardant Polyethylene Film Works

 

Standard polyethylene film continues to burn once ignited. Fruth FR PE film incorporates a flame retardant additive during the extrusion process that interrupts the combustion cycle — the film self-extinguishes when a flame source is removed. This property is what enables compliance with NFPA 701-04 (flame propagation of textiles and films), ASTM E84 (surface burning characteristics), and CPAI-84 (industrial fabric flammability standard).
