Flame-retardant (FR) treated fabrics are textiles made from natural or synthetic fibers that have been chemically treated to impart flame-resistant properties. The treatment forms a protective barrier within the fibers, slowing ignition and reducing the spread of flames to enhance safety in fire-risk environments.
These fabrics offer reliable, cost-effective flame resistance while retaining the comfort, appearance, and properties of the base material, such as cotton, polyester, or blends. Depending on the type of treatment, the FR performance may last through a specific number of washes or for the expected service life of the garment.
