The development of fire-retardant solutions for fabrics has evolved significantly over the years. Today, companies like Nanoflam specialize in water-based chemicals for the textile industry, offering bespoke solutions that meet rigorous safety standards such as the FMVSS 302 FR test for automotive seating.
The methods for imparting flame retardancy to fabrics include Foam coating, an area where Nanoflam Excels, and finishing methods where Nanoflam can guide you on the best solution for your application and fabric choice. These advancements reflect the industry's commitment to safety without compromising on quality or performance.
There is also new lamination solution about to be launched very soon the greater sustainability requirements demanded by major car companies.
These solutions are not only effective in preventing fires but also maintain the soft handle, low formaldehyde, and low fogging performance required for comfort and health standards.
Specification of Fire Retardant Fabrics
For mass transportation, products have been developed to meet the vertical flame test requirements of the new fire test legislation (ECE 118.02) introduced in 2020 for passenger vehicles and trucks.
These products also ensure air permeability and can be included in the OEKO-TEX approved active products list of flame retardancy, indicating a commitment to environmental standards.
In the aviation and marine industries, the requirements are even more stringent. Companies like Nanoflam have risen to the challenge, producing materials that meet the flame retardancy requirements of textiles used in aircraft (FAR 25.853) and marine vessels (IMO parts 5,7,8, and 9).
Fire Resistant Solutions for Fabrics - Conclusion
