In this new entry of our post, we are going to expose some tips to choose the best protection fire retardant textile.
A flame retardant textile, is the one that is made with the purpose to protect people, environments and objects from fire and warmth.
There exist different types of flame retardant textiles. On the one hand, we can find treatments to apply to fabrics of any composition with the end of acquiring flame retardant properties.
On the other hand, we have permanent flame retardant textiles due to their fibre’s composition and ligaments, they are flame retardant since their origin.
The main difference between the two options, is that the first ones can lose little by little their flame retardant properties over the years and because of washings. For this reason, it is important to apply the flame retardant treatment each certain period of time, to keep its properties.
On the opposite side, permanent flame retardant fabrics resist any washing type and keep their flame retardant properties during its whole use life.
In two both cases, a relevant point is to be sure that flame retardant textiles have official certification. This fact guaranties those specific regulations of the sector where they are going to be applied.
Tips for choosing the best protection fire retardant textile
From these differences, our piece of advice is focused on the use of permanent flame retardant textile. This fact allows us to ensure that the protection to fire and warmth will be active at every moment.
Permanent flame retardant fabrics developed by Manatex are designed for different uses, overall they are designed for contract environments.
All our flame retardant textiles are certified by official laboratories. To close this post, we remark on our Pyros collection.
