Protex®

Protex® is the advanced FR Fiber in the Kanecaron family. Kanecaron provides excellent flame retardant properties to a fabric, while at the same time allowing its original fiber characteristics, such as softness and natural appearance, to be maintained.

Protex® can meet the following standards, depending on composition and construction; EN ISO 11611-2008 , EN ISO11612-2008, EN-471, EN1149-1, ASTM-D-6413, NFPA-70E, NFPA2112, BS-7175 etc.

Benefits:

  • Its advanced FR and Heat resistance, upon blending, improves FR Performance in flammable fibers like cotton or polyester.
  • Modacrylic: the generic name of a fiber that has a lower acrylonitrile (35-85%) level than ordinary acrylic fiber in its make up.
  • Self Extinguish: No flame spread and ability to stop combustion when the flame source is removed. Kanecaron/Protex will create a char that works to prevent the flame without melting.
  • Inherent FR Fiber: Polymerized FR Fiber that does not require topical FR Treatments.

Other Advantages:

  • Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) i.e. 33
  • Highly blendable
  • Easy Processing (Spinning, Dyeing, Molding)
  • Protection against  arc flash
