FR laminate technology

Published On: January 1, 2012

Gore® Pyrad™ Flame Retardant is a new laminate technology that offers an optimal combination of thermal/flashover burn protection, environmental protection and comfort. The durably bonded laminate solution allows manufacturers to integrate FR performance into protective outerwear in which traditional (non-FR) textiles are used, such as nylon and polyester. Pyrad Flame Retardant, when used in conjunction with nylon and polyester face fabrics (which are abrasion and pilling resistant) ensures durability and comfort while adding very little in terms of weight and water pickup. It can be constructed with a wide range of fabric options.
