During testing, materials treated with Sapphire Flame Retardant demonstrated exceptional performance, with no ignition, no flame spread, and minimal heat contribution over a 10-minute exposure period. This ensures a high level of fire protection, making it a reliable solution for enhancing the safety of a wide range of materials and applications.
FiremanBrand PTY (LTD) initially introduced The FiremanBrand™ welding blanket for the auto panel beating industry as a welding blanket in 2004 but have found it useful in the mining industry, heavy welding procedures, engineering industry, marine industry, to protect expensive machinery during major maintenance shutdowns from grinding sparks and welding splatter overhead and thermal insulation covers. It is ideal as a fire blanket that can be used to extinguish accidental fires in kitchens, food trucks, restaurants, hotels and fire hazardous workshops. Helpful to have and use around your fireplace or braai areas to prevent charcoal and embers from falling on the floor and accidentally causing a fire. Used as a fireproof mat on the floor of your fireplace or gas heater to protect your wooden floors, carpets, surrounding glass installed near your fireplace and also drape on furniture close to your fireplace. Imagine having a wooden deck or green lawn on your property and you cannot use your portable braai, the FiremanBrand Welding/Fire Blanket can be used underneath your portable braai to protect your wooden deck and grass lawn from getting damaged from falling charcoal and embers.

The halogen-free aspect is a significant selling point for our eco-conscious guests." — Regional Facility Manager, Luxury Hotel Group (Cape Town)

Their certification is vital for our safety audits, and the non-toxic formula gives our performers and staff peace of mind." — Technical Director, Metropolitan Theatre & Arts Center
Exhibitions, Events & Weddings
"SANS 10366 compliance for temporary structures and weddings is non-negotiable. Sapphire makes the process manageable for our eventing year. We treat our entire inventory of banners, draping, and table linen at the beginning of the year, ensuring every venue and exhibition we work with is legally protected." — Director, National Exhibition & Eventing Agency
"For our marquee events, Sapphire treated our hay bales and raffia decor in high-risk dry areas. Their expertise in treating natural materials allowed us to maintain our aesthetic while strictly adhering to safety regulations." — Lead Coordinator, Premier Wedding & Venue Hire

The low smoke emission profile was the deciding factor—knowing that in an emergency, visibility is preserved is a massive safety benefit." — Head of Operations, Private Education Group

They provided custom fireproof covers for our sensitive electrical equipment and treated our sofas and carpets to meet stringent safety audit requirements. Their background in upholstery means they truly understand the materials they are treating." — Safety Officer, Maritime Engineering Firm
