In the middle of the Mediterranean coast, where we create fabrics in an idyllic setting full of great beaches, and festivities such as the Moors and Christians, the Fallas of Valencia, or the Bonfires of San Juan, it is a good time, like any other, to claim the terreta, and the textile tradition of Alcoy. 
Although we are going to sweep a little bit for home, and we are going to talk about what makes an Aquaclean fabric so special and how it relates to our environment, the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains. Because yes, the environment defines the way we do things, why we do things, and our values. The Mediterranean and sustainabilityIn the province we have a good example of something we want to preserve. Not only is it important to make the world easier for our offspring, but we have a special affection for our environment and nature.the Mediterranean, with that special blue color, and those mountains full of beautiful green, could not continue to exist as we know them now, if we do not make a joint social effort to preserve it.
That is why, from Aquaclean we are trying to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals proposed for 2030. Every little step counts, and achieving fabrics with all our characteristics of cleanliness, viral and bacterial protection, which also come from 100% recycled origin, and are 100% recyclable, has become a dream come true thanks to our latest book One Planet 2023 and its collections Veneto, Natura, Alba and Fontana. 
Extremely low heat fabricsIf we wanted to give it epic and charm, we could say that the spirit of the Mediterranean has impregnated our yarns with the ability to withstand high temperatures, but nothing could be further from the truth. In another post of our blog we talked about the Flame Retardant capacity.
of our fabrics. It comes in handy since in many of our parties we burn bonfires, fallas, throw gunpowder, etc.Returning to the subject in question, there are different ways to make a fabric have a certain flame retardant capacity. This resistance can be created by immersion, by adhesive lamination, by foaming, or by flame retardant fibers.by immersion: This consists of passing a fabric through a fireproofing bath, which confers fireproofing capabilities that last up to 20 washes.by fibers or FR spinning: This consists of the use of fibers to whose monomers substances have been added to confer this fireproofing capability. It produces a permanent flame retardant effect, does not affect the softness and malleability of the fiber, and is very resistant.By adhesive lamination: It consists of adhering a flame retardant sheet to a fabric, the problem is that the sheet is quite rigid.By foaming: It consists of applying by means of a scraper or cylinder, a flame retardant product. It is not as rigid as the previous one, but it allows to overcome the European UNE and English British Standard.from Aquaclean, after weighing the different options, the decision was taken to apply flame retardant to the fibers, and thanks to this you can enjoy fabrics that would withstand even being in the epicenter of the Bonfires of San Juan. We are proud of our land, a place of sea and mountains, of blue and green, of traditions linked to fire, and above all of tranquility. A place that somehow has affected our values, and a place that we want to preserve at any cost. Because there is nothing like returning to the “terreta”, when you have been away from it for a long time.
