Flameret Announces Successful Application of Its Proprietary Flame
Retardant to Industrial Hemp
Company Plans to Introduce Multiple Products Derived From
Industrial Hemp Within 90 Days
Company to Target Perceived Large Market for a Durable Flame
Resistant Fabric
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2014) - Flameret (OTC
Pink: FLRE) (PINKSHEETS: FLRE) announced today successful test
results for Flamex when applied to hemp cloth. The test consisted
of two groups. The control group used an untreated hemp cloth and
when the source of heat was applied, the material was up in flames
within about 6 seconds. The second group used the exact same hemp
cloth treated with Flamex. Flamex is the company's proprietary,
odorless, non-staining and bio-degradable flame retardant. The
source of heat was applied for approximately 1:20 (one minute and
20 seconds) on the hemp fabric that was treated with Flamex and
although the material became discolored at the spot where the heat
was applied, the material did not go up in flames. As in every
experiment using Flamex to date, Flamex successfully coated a
fabric (in this case, hemp cloth) and the fabric was resistant to
flame.
Industrial hemp is one of the most useful agricultural products
on the face of the earth. From 1776 to 1937, hemp was a major
American crop and textiles made from hemp were common. Although
there has never been a clear explanation established, the
cultivation of industrial hemp was banned in the United States for
decades. The main reason and the most plausible explanation has
always been hemp's association with the marijuana plant.
For the hundreds of years before the ban, sailors relied upon
hemp fibers that were spun into the world's best rope that could
hold their ships and sails, and the coarseness of the fiber made
hemp useful for canvas, sailcloth, sacks, rope, and paper. While
hemp was the premier choice for industry, the coarseness of the
fiber extricated its use as an apparel. This all changed in the
1980's when researchers developed a process to treat raw hemp fiber
to soften it so that it could be weaved alone or with other fibers
to produce a modern textile. Christopher Columbus sailed to America
on ships that traversed the oceans with sails made of hemp. For the
first time ever, hemp was catapulted into applications of modern
textile design.
John Meredith, Chief Financial Officer of Flameret, Inc.,
commented, "Hemp has always been grown in Europe and I am glad to
see that the climate is beginning to change in the United States
which is clearly demonstrated by the reference to the growing of
hemp in the 2014 United States Farm Bill. There is a large and
untapped market for a hemp fabric that is resistant to flame and
our announced test results clearly show that Flamex works well on
hemp fabric. We are pleased that we can deliver these results to
our shareholders."
