Fire retardant fabric
What is used to prevent the burning of fabrics?
In our fire retardant process, we use the Burnblock formula to reduce the combustion of fabrics.
The flame retardant Burnblock is applied from the inside of the fabrics that prevents spread of flame for the treated fabric. It leaves a colourless, odourless layer that does not interfere with the structure or colour of the fabric.
Amber Guard is the natural choice for fire protection
Due to its natural composition, the Burnlock formula is safe for humans and is used to impregnate fabrics intended for use at home or in commercial places such as pubs, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, theatres, cinemas, etc.
