By Jasztex | Non-Woven Innovation for a Safer World
In this day and age of safety awareness, the need for protective materials has never been greater. Whether being used in mattresses, upholstered furniture, automotive interiors, or industrial insulation, one phrase that always comes up is fire retardant barrier. At Jasztex, we are dedicated to producing high-performance non-woven materials that come with integrated high-performance fire retardant barriers, guaranteeing that safety and quality go together.
What Is a Fire Retardant Barrier?
A fire retardant barrier is a lining of material—a typical case being a non-woven fabric—designed to withstand ignition and suppress the quick spread of flames. These barriers are a vital line of defense between likely ignition sources and combustible core materials like foam or polyester batting. In most situations, the inclusion of an FR barrier can be the difference between a managed situation and a devastating fire.
These barriers consist of specially treated fibers such as FR rayon, modacrylic, or chemically treated polyester and are intended to meet fire safety codes such as California TB 117-2013, FMVSS 302, and BS 5852.
Why Fire Retardant Barriers are Important
Compliance with Safety: For the bedding, furniture, and transportation sectors, fire safety regulations require the application of fire retardant barriers in product development.
Slowing Down Fire Spread: The barriers perform as thermal shields to prevent or retard combustion of filling materials inside.
Preserving Lives and Property: By extending the time taken for fire to reach inner layers, FR barriers provide occupants with longer escape times, minimizing injury and property damage.
