Aside from regularly occurring, fire is a destructive tragedy. Fire can strike anywhere although some places may be at higher risk than others may. As such, fire safety precautions and regulations are necessary for safety in case of fire. Some of the main precautions include fire extinguishers and most recently, fire retardant fabrics. Read on for more information about these fabrics.

Fire resistant fabrics feature self-extinguishing properties. This feature slows the rate at which fabric catches fire. Although fire resistant materials do not completely repel fire, they can withstand fire for longer compared to non-retardant materials.

These fabrics are either inherent or chemically treated. Inherently fire resistant materials are woven from naturally fire resistant fibers. On the other hand, materials that easily catch and spread fire undergo chemical treatment to resist fire.

Today, fire retardant materials are widely used in curtains, clothing, and furniture covers, window shades and, towels among others. Consequently, using these fabrics is an excellent way to control fires. If a building with fire resistant materials catches fire, it will take longer for the fire to spread hence, buying escape time.

The good news is, the industry leader, FR-One is a supplier of fabrics that are not only naturally fire-resistant but also permanently fire retardant.
