Does anyone have any experience with this synthetic paper made by Decro?

In summary, the conversation is about Decro's synthetic paper, which is similar to the material used for "Fatheads" and comes in 44"x100' rolls. The paper is used for making banners and signs, with a base material of polypropylene. The person is looking for information on the paper's burn characteristics, as they are starting to use it for indoor decoration. They have attempted to contact Epson for information, but have had no luck. Another person suggests testing the paper, possibly sold as "tyvek," on a few sheets from eBay.

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with this synthetic paper made by Decro?
It is very similar to the material that those "Fatheads" are made out of. This paper comes in 44" x 100' rolls and is used to make banners, signs, etc.
It has a base material of polypropylene. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find some of the burn characteristics since we are starting to have people using it as a decoration indoors. I attempted to call Epson but hit a dead end. Thanks.

Is this what's sold as 'tyvek'? If so, you can get a few sheets from ebay for pennies (eg wristbands, envelopes, overalls) and do your tests on those?
