Flame retardant technology – Pyrovatex
All fabrics from Pyrovatex offer the best flame protection possible. The
flame retardancy complies with all certification requirements, and is
guaranteed to last for the fabric’s entire lifespan. Whereas many
competitors use technology where some of the flame protection is lost
after wear, tear and washing, our protection technology penetrates the
actual textile fibres and lasts wash after wash…
The chemical substance of Pyrovatex was formulated and introduced by
Ciba ( Now Huntsman Germany ) as early as the 60s. And over the past 35
years, it has acquired comprehensive and extensive all-round experience
in flame retardancy of protective clothing. Continuous development of
the products have added numerous additional qualities to the flame
retardant properties in order to ensure even higher user and
environmental performance.
Unique qualities
• Sanforised 100% cotton Twill for maximum comfort.
• The flame retardant properties last throughout the fabric’s lifespan regardless of washing frequency.
• Environmentally friendly production
• Can be worn directly against the skin
Certification:
EN 531 Flame and heat protection
EN 470-1 Welding
CLC/TS 50354 Electrical arc
Oeko-tex std. 100 class II Tested for Harmful Substances
Environmental Performance:
Research from several universities in the USA and Germany shows no signs
of toxic or environmentally damaging properties in Pyrovatex. The
product has also been tested directly on the skin without showing any
skin aggravation or allergy reactions. It does not contain any
environmentally damaging or toxic substances such as bromine. Waste gas
emission during combustion of Pyrovatex products is lower and less
environmentally damaging than for untreated cotton textiles! In
