The Fiber
PyroTex® is an engineered Acrylic fiber and clearly surpasses currently accepted standards. Because of its inherent properties it is not comparable to any of the other FR fibers on the market. For example:
- Flame resistant – the LOI is 43%
- Acid and Alkaline resistant
- UV resistant
- Resistant against solvents, hydrolysis and oxidizing agents
- Heat resistant up to 250°C (480°F)
- Anti-bacterial
Other properties of PyroTex® are:
- does not melt nor drip
- does not smoke
- does not produce toxic fumes
- is dyeable (also available in dope dyed) → PyroTex® coloured
STANDARDS
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1
- REACH → pass
- CPSIA → pass
- Berry Amendment
- compliant
We neither use antimony nor halogens nor phosphorus in our process!
APPLICATIONS
- protective apparel (all layers)
- public transportation (airplane, bus, train)
- filtration
- contract textiles/sunprotection
- technical/industrial applications (covers, inlay)
