Achievable standards

With FLAM-FIXE, it is possible to achieve the highest standards of fire retardants, to the M1 and B1 standards on cotton products (or in any case of cellulose).

This treatment is permanent, that is to say it remains active after repeated washings and it is applicable over a wide range of cellulosic fibers and their mixtures with synthetic. In addition, the product is harmless to health and does not risk the ban use unlike many other products.

An investment that benefits many companies

Veramtex offering just the second stage in this process, our partners do not have to invest in a specific machine for the ammonia treatment, which

is a considerable advantage in terms of cost, expertise to be acquired and permits to be requested.

By on the other hand, they can, using their existing machines, offer permanent fireproof treatment while retaining control over products to use, dosages and finishing recipes.

An increasing number of companies will be able to apply a permanent flame retardant treatment on natural plant fibers.

Presentation of the process

The flame-retardant treatment consists of three main stages :

1. Impregnation of the fabric by the THPC, followed by drying;
2. Polymerisation of the product by passing it through an atmosphere of ammonia gas;
3. Oxidation and washing to chemically stabilise the product.
