New flame protection system from Schoeller

03/05/2013
Swiss textile technology provider Schoeller is preparing to launch a new product in the area of flame protection. Called pyroshell, the company will unveil the innovation at the Techtextil event in Frankfurt (June 11-13).

Pyroshell’s key attributes, Schoeller said on announcing the development, are that it will make reliable protection from heat and flames possible on synthetic fabrics because it combines permanent flame protection with polyamide and polyester fabrics. In addition, it provides high levels of safety and visibility in all EN 471 colours (neon yellow, orange and red).

Applications on elastic fabrics are also possible, offering freedom of movement and comfort to wearers without any compromise on breathability, tear-strength, abrasion resistance or weight.

Schoeller describes pyroshell not as a technology but as a “comprehensive, modular overall concept”. Three-layer protective fabrics that no longer need to be lined are available in two-way and four-way stretch versions or as a non-elastic. The fabrics are manufactured in keeping with bluesign standards.
