Flame retardant textiles, essential for<br />
contract and residence textiles<br />
Flame-retardant textile products go through many processing steps<br />
that contribute to their overall chemical footprints and sometimes<br />
the final chemical residues remaining in the finished product.<br />
Fire is one of the most destructive forces on the planet.<br />
Fires are hard to fight and often impossible to<br />
control, and in many cases they end up with loss<br />
of human life, injury, and damage properties. Many<br />
industries have been working for a long time to develop<br />
products, methods, and processes to fight against fire and<br />
to limit the hazards and threats from fire, e.g., sprinkler systems,<br />
fire extinguishing systems, and smoke and fire detection<br />
devices.<br />
The field of flame retardancy has witnessed rigorous development<br />
in the area of new technologies, products and materials<br />
to meet the challenge and needs of ever changing<br />
safety regulations and cope with the changing requirements<br />
of everyday use.<br />
What are flame-retardants (FRs)?<br />
Flame-retardants are chemicals that are added or applied to<br />
materials in order to slow or prevent the start or growth of<br />
fire. They are chemical compounds added to or otherwise<br />
incorporated into plastic compounds to provide varying degrees<br />
of flammability protection. FRs give the victims of fire<br />
more time to escape, limit the loss of life and injury, and<br />
protect property. World brands such as Trevira, Lenzing,<br />
Clariant, Sateri International, etc. have been constantly innovating<br />
materials and solutions to complement the best<br />
textiles for fighting with fire.<br />
