Precision Textiles showcased its lineup of FR solution products for the
first time at IBIA Expo 2022 in Istanbul, Türkiye, last month (October 6–9).
With more and more Turkish based mattress suppliers looking to import
finished mattress products to the U.S., Precision Textiles comprehensive
assortment of CFR 1633 solution product offerings was a welcome
addition for this first-time show.
Precision Textiles displayed
it’s IQ FIT ® series of products
which are produced
using Glass Free, Chemical Free
technologies are also USDA
“Bio-Preferred” certified products
that can deliver worry free CFR
1633 compliant solutions to finished
mattresses. Precision also
featured their PurLoft ® and Pur-

Endure IFR product line was also
on display along with the company’s
Celluloft FR fiber barrier
materials. Both allow mattress
designers FR solutions for their
mattress under panels, borders
and top panel applications.
The annual IBIA Expo mattress
fair brought together professionals
from the bedding, textile, machinery,
and equipment industries.
With over 150 exhibitors from
14 countries and nearly 20,000
domestic and foreign buyers, it’s
one of the premier mattress and
technology fairs, featuring some
of the world’s leading mattress
companies.
“With a rapidly expanding list of
Turkish manufacturers from the
region exporting product to the
United States it made sense for
us to be there to speak directly
with customers that may not have
the complete picture on US government
regulations for mattress
products” said Gerry Welkley, national
sales manager at Precision
Textiles. “We are looking forward
to assisting our new customer
base in Turkey better navigate
the complexities associated with
CFR 1633 compliance requirements,
as well as help them avoid
the ever-expanding U.S. state
regulations governing the use of
flame-retardant materials.”
Totowa, New Jersey-based Precision
Textiles exhibited at Beli-Plast
LLC, which was located at
the main entrance of foyer 2 in the
Istanbul Expo Center. Those who
