Flame-retardant papers and paperlike materials

 

Our children already know how easily papers and many textiles can burn.

This is why legislators have greatly improved fire protection regulations over the last few years and have required flame-retardant materials for all public events and in buildings frequented by the public that prevent major fires.

This applies, for example, to trade fairs, football matches, public authorities, schools, airports and the like.

 

You will find our wide range of flame-retardant papers and paper-like materials under the heading Materials in the left-hand side menu bar, or get inspired by our areas of application in the side menu bar.

If you are still not sure – under the term sample dispatch will find various sample packages already assembled.

The side menu papers / paper-like materials on the right / bottom of the mobile view helps you to keep track.

 

 

 

The fire protection of papers and fabrics can be achieved by various possibilities.

 

If there is no more oxygen, the flame goes out.

 

In advertising technology, for trade fair and stage construction as well as for show and event design, mostly finished or coated textiles and papers are used or, alternatively, fabrics made of flame-retardant fibres.

 

The burning behaviour can be influenced by fibre combinations or the finish.

More...

Textiles made of chemical fibres, natural fibres and their blends already react differently due to the raw materials used.  Cotton and polyester are particularly suitable for finishing with flame-retardant chemicals, blended fabrics are less suitable.

 

The chemicals are either mixed into the fibre raw material before the finishing process or applied to the fabric afterwards. Special textile finishers, for example, provide the fabrics with flame retardancy. In Germany, all companies pay attention to environmental protection and safe quality. This is documented by certifications according to ISO DIN EN 9001 (quality management system), 14001 (environmental management system) and validation according to the EU Eco-Audit.

By the way: paper is a fibre product. More...

consists mainly of vegetable fibres, which are a few millimetres to a few centimetres in length, depending on the type of paper. These fibres are available in the form of wood pulp, semi-chemical pulp or cellulose. The hardness of the wood and its fibre formation play a significant role in its selection as a raw material. Different applications require different wood pulps.

Today approx. 65% waste paper is used in the production of paper, cardboard and cardboard cartons – usually waste paper is only recycled 5-6 times.
