Flame Retardant TextilesComfort and safety - acknowledged as the two most
important requirements today for home textiles and it was Trevira CS that first combined
them successfully. They are in use all over the world, not only to meet regulations on
fire protection, but because the luxury and comfort of the fabrics make them the natural
first choice.
Research into the causes of fire proves that
unsuitable fabrics can help fire to spread. The flame retardant qualities of Trevira are
permanently sealed in the molecules, so that the flame protection is not affected by
washing, use or ageing. Trevira CS fabrics are the most successful in safety terms
worldwide. See for yourself!
The comparison burning test of rooms which are
furnished with conventional textiles and flame retardant Trevira CS textiles respectively,
shows how dramatically a fire can spread, and on the other hand, ways of avoiding this
risk.
A fire has been set in each room by throwing a
burning match into a waste paper basket located close to the curtains. After 45 seconds a
remarkable difference can be noted between the two rooms: on the one side only the waste
paper basket is burning, on the other side the curtains are already burning extensively.
The flames are up to the ceiling.
The major industrialised countries have produced
Fire Standards that must be adhered to. You'll find a Table of Fire Standards and
appropriate test certificates for Trevira CS fabrics under the page Fire Certificates.

safety.
Trevira CS is the ideal response to the desire
for comfortable fabrics and to the requirements of local authority building and fire
regulations and those of insurance companies. But beyond this the huge variety of designs
