Flame Retardancy for Coated Textiles
Durable flame retardancy without compromising safety or compliance
Halogen-free, water-based flame retardancy solutions for coated textile applications under increasing regulatory pressure.
Fire safety requirements are not decreasing, but the chemistries used to achieve them are under increasing scrutiny. Textile manufacturers are expected to move away from halogenated and antimony-based systems, while still delivering consistent fire performance, durability and compliance across different applications.
Why Flame Retardancy Is More Complex Than It Seems
Effective flame retardancy isn’t just about choosing the right chemistry. True flame retardancy depends on a full system, including coating systems, binders, fabric construction, processing methods, and end-use requirements.
A solution that works in one application may fail in another. That’s why achieving consistent flame-retardant performance requires the right combination of chemistry, process, and technical expertise.
With the right approach, you can ensure your fabrics and materials meet safety standards without compromising on quality or design.

Flame Retardancy Across Real Applications
The Flame Retardancy Concept is designed for coated textile applications where fire safety, compliance and durability must go hand in hand:
- Public transport (bus, train, metro)
- Project and contract upholstery
- Tents and temporary structures
- Industrial and protective covers
- Roofing and construction textiles
- Hospitality and public interior textiles
A System-Based Approach to Flame Retardancy
The Flame Retardancy Concept helps textile coaters move away from high-risk FR chemistries without sacrificing fire performance, durability or process reliability. By combining safer chemistries with application expertise, it delivers solutions that work in real production. Not just in theory.
This results in:
- More consistent fire performance across applications
- Reduced dependency on restricted chemistries
- Improved process reliability
- Lower development effort and fewer production trials
- Better alignment with current and future compliance requirements
