In "The Heat is On" Corrie Pelc reviews the future of flame-retardant textile protection including InnoSense's FirePhob - a family of nontoxic, non-halogenated, flame retardant materials. The article review was published in the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorist for the November/December 2015, Vol. 15, No. 6 issue.
Pelc's thesis is that fire retardants are one of the textile treatments which have a significant impact - protecting and saving lives. ISL's FirePhob flame retardant materials are featured here as an example of a novel effective, breathable, nontoxic FR treatment, but also of one which has the potential to reach a wider end user market. As FR treatments, such as FirePhob, become safer, cost-effective and long lasting, FR treated textiles could become a standard feature in more textiles.
