Is your fabric flame retardant? Back to Top

Our fabrics are "Not Flame Retardant".  In order for Cotton fabric to be Flame Retardant, special chemicals would have to be put on the surface of the fabric during processing.  Most of our product goes into over the counter fabric or apparel.  As a company, we have decided not to put additional chemicals on our fabrics to make them Flame Retardant.  We are required by the Federal Government to test our fabric for “General Flammability”, according to an established "Test Method".  We perform this test on all types of fabrics that we as a company sell. All of our fabrics that we sell have successfully passed this requirement.  PASSED - does not imply that the fabric is Flame Retardant, simply that it meets the requirements of the test method.  Fabric "will" burn.  Most local Fire Ordinances require that when using fabric for display purposes in a public building, they must be Flame Retardant.  If you have such ordinances in your area, and this is your intent, then our fabric would not be suitable for your purpose.
