Musion 3D’s flame-retardant holographic foil has achieved M1 (France) fire certification, the international gold standard for fire safety in public spaces and the most stringent classification available for holographic projection materials.
Every permanent holographic installation in a public facing venue, theatre, museum, university, stadium, shopping centre, airport, cruise ship or hotel, requires fire-compliant holographic foil. This is not a preference. It is a legal requirement and moral responsibility.
M1 certification is a demanding standard. Musion 3D foil is manufactured and fit for purpose, and is independently tested to meet these standards – giving venue operators and insurers confidence that their installation satisfies the most rigorous fire safety requirements in any jurisdiction globally.

Every permanent Musion foil installation is covered by an annual insurance programme. The insurance guarantees like-for-like foil replacement at notional additional cost to the venue in the event of accidental damage, protecting the installation value and eliminating operational risk for venue operators.
Foil is manufactured in Germany under a long-term supply agreement, ensuring consistent quality and availability
One of the keys to Musion’s current and future success is the unique flame-retardant, optically-clear polymer foil that is used to create amazingly life-like Musion3D holographic images. The ‘optically-clear’ quality of the foil enables Musion to replace the delicate pane of glass, which was traditionally used to produce the Pepper’s Ghost effect, with an ultra-thin, easily-transported and easily-rigged foil that produces a far higher-quality holographic image.
The ‘flame-retardant’ quality of the foil is essential because the vast majority of Musion’s installations are in venues that are very concerned about fire safety. Every year, some 70,000 to 80,000 people die in fire accidents in about 7-8 million fires worldwide. Many of these deaths occur in public entertainment venues fitted with flammable materials. Flame-retardant, optically-clear foil is a relatively new product. It is manufactured exclusively by the German – Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH (MPF). MPF is the pioneer in the development and manufacture of non-halogenated foil; a far more eco-friendly process than the older brominated flame retardants used in the U.S.
