Fireproof fabrics
EN 531: Protective clothing for workwers exposed to heat
Tchaikovsky Textile uses Pyrovatex®, from Huntsman (Ciba) for its fireproof impregnation. Pyrovatex® penetrates the fibres and due to strong covalent bonds with cotton, it gives our fabrics fireproof qualities.
Tchaikovsky Textile's fireproof fabrics comply with EN 531.
Clothing made from this fabric:
- does not burn or melt near an open flame or when faced with high temperatures
- does not smoulder when surrounded by flames for 30 seconds
- keeps its original shape after being subjected to flames
- the self-extinguishing property of the fabric will be intact for its whole lifecycle
- keeps its protective qualities after 200 washes
- can be used in extreme circumstances
- is very durable.
