What does FR polyester mean?

Originally, polyester fibers are combustible and have no flame retardant properties. FR-Polyester complies to ISO 14116, which is a standard for limited flame retardant properties. FR-Polyester has good durability and breathable properties, has good elasticity and abrasion resistance, it is soft and dries fast.

Why are yarns and fabrics given a flame proofing finish?

Some chemical flame retardants may be durable even after more than 50 laundering cycles while others may be non-durable and washed away after single laundering. Flame retardancy is an important characteristic of textile materials in order to protect consumers from unsafe apparels.

What is Trevira wool?

Trevira 350 is a low-pill polyester fibre for the weaving and knitting sectors.

Which fabrics are fire retardant?

Acrylic, polyester and nylon are also all considered fire retardant fabrics, as they catch fire at a much higher temperature than natural fibers.

What is flame retardants in textiles?
