When it comes to professional textiles, it\u2019s not just about comfort and durability, but also about safety. You may sometimes wonder about the fire-retardant properties of textiles. Before we go into that, we\u2019d like to explain the difference between the terms \u2018fire-retardant\u2019 and \u2018fire-resistant\u2019. In practice, we see that both terms are often used interchangeably and in the wrong context.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire-retardant<\/strong> versus fire-resistant<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2018Fire-retardant\u2019 means that a material delays ignition and\/or inhibits the spread of fire, but does not prevent it from eventually burning. This behaviour is achieved through the use of special textile fibres (e.g. flame-retardant polyester) or a special treatment of the textile during washing using a salt solution.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fire-resistant\u2019 means that a structure or material withstands fire for a certain period of time, thereby preventing the fire from spreading. This term is mainly used in relation to rooms and structures.<\/p>\n

Permanent<\/strong> flame-retardant polyester fibre<\/h3>\n

When it comes to textiles, we therefore always talk about \u2018fire-retardant\u2019, or more accurately, \u2018flame-retardant\u2019. In practice, flame-retardant is often seen as part of fire-retardant, but the emphasis here is on flame behaviour. Our flame-retardant sheets, fitted sheets, blankets, pillows, duvets, medical duvets, anti-tear pillows, anti-tear sheets and anti-tear shirts comply with the applicable standards and are suitable for intensive washing in the laundry. They are made from a permanently flame-retardant polyester fibre, with the advantage that the flame-retardant effect is retained even after many washes. This is in contrast to treatment with a salt solution, which must be repeated with every wash.<\/p>\n
