Naturally, as synthetic fibers are widely used
in our daily lives, safety is an all-important issue. Kanecaron provides
a flexibility-safety solution that is nothing less than impressive.
Kanecaron’s “No Dripping, No Melting” qualities
and self-extinguishing qualities (it actually carbonizes to prevent
flames from spreading) ultimately safeguard the end user’s
environment. In fact, the fibers’ LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index),
which directly measures the self-extinguishability of the fiber,
ranges from LOI 28-38, and outshines those of more conventional natural
and synthetic fibers. Furthermore, flame retardancy doesn’t
deteriorate with washing, unlike other products. Kanecaron’s
versatility lets you blend it with non- flame-retardant fibers at
appropriate ratios to create fabrics that offer peace of mind to
the end user.

Fire-proof polyester |
| It only burns but doesn’t actually ignite or liquefy. |
The fabric melts because of the heat, and the
melted fabric causes the burning to spread. |
