What is the different between Inherent and Treated FR Fabrics?
The properties of Inherent FR fabrics mean that the FR protective properties will not wash out or diminish during the lifetime of the fabric. Treated FR fabrics on the other hand achieve their FR properties by the application of a chemical and are typically certified to still have their FR properties up to a maximum of 50, or occasionally 100 washes.
Larger end users are choosing Inherent fabrics for peace of mind when equipping their workforce. Another significant benefit is that Inherent fabrics are often lighter in weight than their Treated counterparts for the same levels of protection that the garment offers, which ultimately results in a more comfortable garment for the wearer.
