You know more and more about the qualities of our fabrics. The cleaning with water, the antibacterial and antiviral properties of our Safe Front technology, the qualities of our Extreme fabrics and how they prevent your sofa from becoming a war field between the sofa and your pet… And today we are going to talk about another technology of our Aquaclean fabrics, their flame retardant capacity. 
We all know the destructive capabilities of fire when it touches a flammable surface. Therefore, at Aquaclean we understood the need to create a fabric that is resistant to fire, since the sofa is a piece that is usually easy to suffer the consequences of a fire. Flame Retardant fibers.
We had several objectives: to develop a new fireproof upholstery material with an anti-vandalism effect, especially for use in public transport, and to manufacture fabrics for small and large facilities: auditoriums, waiting rooms, hotels, restaurants, etc. (contract), etc. Knowing this, we had several options. There are mainly four types of flame retardant fabrics:By immersion.
It consists of passing a fabric through a flame-retardant bath, which gives it flame-retardant capabilities that last up to 20 washes. By fibers or FR yarn.
It consists of the use of fibers to whose monomers substances have been added to confer this flame-retardant capacity. It produces a permanent flame retardant effect, does not affect the softness and malleability of the fiber, and is very resistant by adhesive lamination.
The problem is that the film is quite rigid. By foaming.
Consists of applying a fireproofing product by means of a scraper or cylinder. It is not as rigid as the previous one, but it allows to overcome the European standard UNE and the English British Standard. 
And of course, at Aquaclean we don’t like the middle ground, so we decided to give our fabrics the FR or Flame Retardant capability, which is optimal in terms of comfort and flame retardancy. Flame retardants are activated in the presence of an ignition source and are designed to slow down or even prevent the development of such ignition by different physical and chemical methods. A bittersweet example.
A few years ago, a fire that originated in Llutxent, and moved to Gandia unfortunately devastated several urbanizations and houses in the area. Fortunately, none of the inhabitants were injured, unlike, unfortunately, their homes. The fire reached 800ºC, destroying and damaging safety glass, reinforced concrete, and other building materials. But we received images from one of our clients of something that had survived the fire, his sofa. 
This proves the efficacy of Fire Retardant treatment even in extreme situations such as a massive fire, but also confirms that you can indeed trust our fabrics, which undergo dozens of tests of all kinds to deliver the best possible product. But it also confirms that you can indeed trust our fabrics, which undergo dozens of tests of all kinds to provide you with the best possible product. As you know, our main objective is your peace of mind, and if to achieve it we have to ensure that our fabrics have protection against all kinds of elements, we will do our best to make it happen. Because viruses, bacteria, liquids and stains of all kinds, scratches, and even fire, have no place in your Aquaclean sofa.
