Emtex® Flameproofing agent (with binding agent)
for needlefelt, tufted and woven fabrics
Highly effective flameproofing effects Good raw edge bonding ,tuft anchorage and filament anchorage
Product description
Flameproofing systems should not have a negative effect on the product characteristics and still be useable in the greatest variety of ways possible. In addition to the specification requirements concerning flameproofing, smoke gas density and toxicity, the finish/coating also have to meet the "classic" requirements for good raw edge bonding, anchorage of pile, tuft and filament as well as the handle obtained. For this segment, we offer a selection of flameproofing compounds that can be used to coat needlefelts and carpets.
Our flameproofing agents, Emtex® N 274, Emtex® M 376 and Emtex® U 936 can be applied with the usual processes and modified in their properties with commercially available binding agent systems (natural latex, synthetic latex, acrylate and polyvinyl acetate). Any corrections of pH-value that might be necessary should be taken into account. The quantity used has to be geared to the type of fibre, fabric structure as well as the degree of flame resistance desired and can be determined by preliminary testing. If it is necessary to adjust the viscosity, diluting can be done with water or thickening agent (Wesopret® series) added.
