This page provides a comprehensive overview of our flame retardant fabrics, technical features, specifications, applications, manufacturing processes, quality certifications, global projects, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Product Overview

Flame retardant fabric is a specially engineered textile designed to resist ignition, slow down flame spread, and reduce smoke production when exposed to fire. Unlike conventional fabrics, FR fabrics incorporate advanced chemical additives or inherently flame-resistant fibers to meet strict industrial and commercial safety requirements.

At Der factory, we offer a wide range of flame retardant fabrics, including:

• PVC coated flame retardant fabric — ideal for heavy-duty industrial barriers and protective covers.
• Polyester woven FR fabric — versatile, high-strength fabric suitable for tents, curtains, and partitions.
• Oxford FR fabric — durable and abrasion-resistant for industrial and construction applications.
• Canvas FR fabric — classic fire-resistant solution for long-term outdoor installations.
• FR tarpaulin fabrics — engineered for industrial transport, protective covers, and emergency response usage.
• FR architectural membrane fabrics — for large-scale public venues and tensile structures.

Each of our fabrics is carefully formulated for specific applications, combining advanced flame retardant chemistry with mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where fire safety and visibility are critical.

Flame retardant fabrics achieve fire resistance through several mechanisms:

• Inherent FR fibers: Fire resistance is built into the fiber during polymerization, providing long-lasting performance even after washing or exposure.
• Chemical FR treatments: Additives applied to the fabric surface enhance fire retardancy while maintaining flexibility and durability.
• Coating-based FR systems: PVC, PU, or silicone coatings with flame-retardant additives create a protective layer that resists ignition and flame spread.

Der factory specializes in coating-based flame retardant solutions, providing highly reliable and durable fabrics suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Common uses of our flame retardant fabrics include:

• Industrial safety curtains and partitions
• Warehouse dividers and protective covers
• Construction site barriers and scaffolding safety screens
• Tent structures and temporary shelters
• Event and exhibition protective curtains
• Emergency response shelters and fireproof enclosures
• Marine and outdoor applications requiring fire safety and UV resistance

With Der factory flame retardant fabrics, clients can customize thickness, width, flame retardant grade, coating type, color, surface finish, and roll length to suit project-specific requirements. This level of customization ensures optimal performance across diverse industrial and commercial scenarios.

Our flame retardant fabrics are engineered to meet rigorous industry standards and offer excellent mechanical performance:

• High tensile and tear strength to withstand industrial handling
• Durable and abrasion-resistant coating for extended service life

Manufacturing Process

Der factory's flame retardant fabrics are produced using state-of-the-art manufacturing processes that ensure consistent quality, superior flame resistance, and long-term durability. Our production integrates advanced textile engineering, precision coating technology, and rigorous quality control measures.

1. Base Fabric Selection

High-quality base fabrics are selected depending on application requirements: polyester, nylon, cotton canvas, or fiberglass. Each base fabric undergoes pre-treatment to remove impurities, ensuring smooth coating adhesion and uniform flame retardant performance.

2. Coating & Impregnation

Base fabrics are coated or impregnated with PVC, PU, or silicone formulations containing flame retardant additives. The coating process is carefully controlled for uniform thickness and consistent fire-resistant properties. Multi-layer coatings are applied for enhanced mechanical strength and flame retardant longevity.

3. Drying & Curing

After coating, fabrics pass through controlled drying and curing tunnels. Precise temperature and humidity control ensure full polymerization of the coating, creating a stable and durable flame retardant layer. This process also prevents cracking, bubbling, or delamination during use.

4. Surface Finishing

The surface of the fabric is treated to achieve the desired finish: smooth, matte, embossed, or anti-slip. Additional treatments such as UV stabilization, anti-static coating, or waterproofing can be applied as required.

5. Quality Inspection

Every batch of flame retardant fabric undergoes stringent quality inspections, including:

• Tensile strength testing
• Tear resistance measurement
• Elongation at break testing
• Flame retardant compliance tests (NFPA701, B1, M1, EN13501-1)
• Color and thickness uniformity checks
• Waterproofing and UV resistance validation

6. Cutting & Packaging

Fabrics are cut into standard roll lengths or customized sizes according to customer requirements. Rolls are securely packaged with protective wrapping to prevent contamination, moisture ingress, or mechanical damage during transport.

Der factory continuously invests in modern production lines with automation, computer-controlled coating, and high-precision measurement systems to maintain consistency and high quality for all flame retardant fabrics.

Quality Control

Ensuring high-quality flame retardant fabric is fundamental to Der factory's philosophy. Our quality control system is designed to verify every aspect of the product before it reaches customers.

1. Incoming Material Inspection

• Raw fibers and fabrics are tested for tensile strength, weave density, and chemical stability.
• Coating materials are analyzed for viscosity, flame retardant concentration, and curing properties.
• Only approved materials proceed to production.

2. In-Process Control

• Continuous monitoring of coating thickness and uniformity using laser and optical systems.
• Real-time temperature and humidity control in drying and curing lines.
• Random sampling of fabric rolls for flame retardancy, tensile strength, and tear tests.

3. Final Inspection

• Each roll undergoes NFPA701, B1, M1, or EN13501-1 compliance testing.
• Visual inspection for defects, color consistency, and surface finish.
• Mechanical testing of tensile strength, tear strength, and elongation.
• Packaging inspection to ensure secure and moisture-free storage for shipping.
