Safety and function go together in the world today—particularly in sectors such as furniture, automotive, and bedding. Perhaps one of the most fundamental materials that facilitates this coexistence is fire retardant fiber. At Jasztex, we recognize the pivotal role such special fibers play in providing performance and protection across a range of uses.
What is Fire Retardant Fiber?
Fire retardant fiber is designed to be resistant to ignition and to inhibit the spread of fire. As opposed to normal fibers, which are prone to igniting and spreading the flames quickly, these treated or inherently flame-resistant fibers provide added security. This is why they are a leading option in industries where fire safety codes are strict and non-bargainable.
There are two primary types of fire retardant fibers:
Inherently fire retardant fibers, including FR rayon and modacrylic, are inherently flame-resistant at the molecular level.
Treated fibers, wherein a chemical treatment is applied to conventional fibers like polyester or cotton to endow them with fire-retardant characteristics.
Applications Across Industries
At Jasztex, we incorporate fire retardant fibers into our non-woven fabric product lines to fulfill the most stringent industry requirements. These fibers are used to a great extent in:
FR mattress batting and wadding for the bedding business
Automotive interiors to comply with federal flammability regulations
Public space upholstered furniture and seating
Commercial interior wall and ceiling panels
Industrial and emergency response protective apparel
Benefits of Fire Retardant Non-Woven Materials
Improved Safety – Prevention or retardation of fire spread can save lives and minimize property loss.
Compliance with Regulations – FR fiber use assists products in complying with rigorous fire safety regulations such as CA TB 117, FMVSS 302, and BS 5852.
