New Sustainable Choice For Flame Retardant Textiles

The new halogen free flame-retardant powder additive developed for textile coating application is in line with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard and can provide a new sustainable choice for flame retardant products.

Archroma's Pekoflam HFC product was launched in November (2014). It can help textile manufacturers and protective clothing manufacturers achieve the Oeko-Tex 100 standard and make their final products effective fire prevention. It can be applied to military uniform and protective clothing.

Pekoflam HFC is one. Organic phosphorus / nitrogen compounds It can be used in synthetic materials such as polyamide fiber and blended fabric. Pekoflam HFC is known to have a "unique" chemical effect, which is better than that commonly used in nitrogen and / or phosphorus based chemicals. efficiency 。

Pekoflam HFC is also suitable for waterborne coating, as well as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 " green "Solvent" is used as substrate to provide a more flexible coating method for the cloth coating machine in the use of different end products. The product has ecological properties that enable it to be used in indirect and direct contact with skin.

Michael Schuhmann, head of Archroma global professional textiles flame retardant business division, explains: "the main advantage of Pekoflam HFC lies in its ability to combine the effect and performance of halogenation and non halogenation technologies in order to provide diversified coating polymers for use in fire prevention solutions."

"Therefore, Pekoflam HFC can provide a sustainable and long-term alternative for synthetic textile applications, not only in line with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 standard, but also should be more environmentally friendly materials and end products, and can effectively reduce the general trend of health risks".

The Oeko-Tex standard provides a scientific benchmark for manufacturers of textiles and garment industries to assess potential harmful substances in textiles.

The Oeko-Tex label shows the additional benefits of testing skin safe and harmless garments and other textiles for the end users who are interested in buying products. Therefore, whether the test label has become an important decision-making tool for users to purchase textiles.

Speaking of textile printing and dyeing, people often think of the scene of sweaty workers passing through the dye vat. But in Kangping's printing and dyeing demonstration workshop, few people can see the operation. Only a few skilled workers patrol and monitor. The whole workshop is orderly, all the production process is controlled by one key, and the whole spinning dyeing process is fully automated.

"Before dyeing is absolutely a hard work, in a high temperature and high humidity environment, a worker has to carry 8 tons of -10 tons of yarn per day." Chen Duifan, chairman of Kangping Na group.

After the technology upgrading of "machine replacement", a previous dyeing workshop needs 13 people. Now it only needs 3 people, and the total number of workers can be reduced by more than 70%. And not only reduced manpower costs, but also greatly improved the stability of product quality.
