Next-gen GERPHOS flame retardants for technical textiles


Technical textiles are a fusion of innovation and function, representing a specialized segment of the textile industry. Unlike conventional textiles, which prioritize aesthetics and comfort, technical textiles are engineered for performance. These textiles are designed to meet specific, often demanding, criteria, such as resistance to extreme temperatures, strength under tension, or even conductivity. From fire-resistant suits worn by firefighters and lightweight composites in aerospace, to geotextiles that stabilize roadways and medical textiles used in healthcare settings, their applications are vast and varied. As industries evolve and the need for advanced materials grows, technical textiles stand at the forefront, offering tailored solutions to complex challenges. With their unique blend of flexibility, strength, and specialized properties, they play a pivotal role in modern-day technological advancements and continue to reshape industries around the world.

Next-generation GERPHOS flame retardants amplify the safety of technical textiles by reducing their inherent flammability. When GERPHOS is incorporated into these specialized fabrics, it ensures that they resist ignition and control flame spread. This enhancement is paramount for applications where technical textiles are exposed to potential fire hazards, ensuring they meet and exceed the demanding fire safety standards for such materials.

OEKO-TEX® ACP-LISTED SOLUTIONS

ACP-Listed Flame Retardants for Technical Textiles

GERPHOS 8815-10, GERPHOS 8815-16 and GERPHOS 8815-199 are listed in the OEKO-TEX® list of accepted Active Chemical Products (ACP). Suitable for PVC, polyurethane and acrylic systems, these specialised flame retardants support demanding coated and laminated technical-textile applications with performance profiles including strong charring behaviour, low smoke density and high hydrolytic stability.

Technical textiles treated with these ACP-listed flame retardants remain eligible for certification to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, subject to the applicable requirements and assessment of the finished article.

Inclusion in the OEKO-TEX® ACP list is not a certification, endorsement or approval by OEKO-TEX®. OEKO-TEX® is a registered trademark of the OEKO-TEX® Association.
