Flame Retardant Finishing

We recognise the critical importance of protecting lives and property from the devastating effects of fire. Our advanced flame retardant treatments are meticulously designed to enhance the safety of textiles without compromising their quality, appearance, or comfort.



What is Flame retardant finishing?

Our flame retardant finishing is a type of textile chemical finishing that is designed to reduce the flammability of your fabrics and prevent them from catching fire or spreading flames. Clients within transport, aerospace, construction and home furnishing have opted for this finish where fire safety is of paramount importance.  We perform both full pad and back coating to provide bespoke solution to your needs.

MAKING YOUR FABRIC SAFE AND COMPLIANT
