Why Flame Retardancy MattersTextile materials—ranging from curtains and upholstery to workwear—often serve as fuel during fires. Without protection, these fabrics can spread flames rapidly, emitting heat and toxic smoke. Flame retardant (FR) treatments slow or even prevent ignition, buying critical ... read more
Introduction In the textile industry, coatings play a crucial role in enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of fabrics. Whether for decorative textiles, luggage materials, or industrial nonwovens, high-performance coatings must provide durability, adhesion, and resistance to wear while ma... read more
Introduction The demand for flame-retardant tent fabrics has increased due to stricter safety regulations and a growing focus on sustainability. Traditional flame retardants often contain chemicals that may have environmental and health concerns. To address these challenges, eco-friendly flame retar... read more
Introduction With increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, the construction industry is shifting toward eco-friendly materials that reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions without compromising performance. Waterborne emulsion resins have emerged as... read more
Innovative Elemental FR Systems (Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Hybrids) Research is increasingly focused on non-halogen flame-retardant (FR) chemistries based on phosphorus and nitrogen. Phosphorus-based FRs are especially versatile: some (e.g. phosphinates) act in the vapor phase to quench free radicals, w... read more
