Kelheim offers flame resistant fiber

Kelheim Fibers has introduced a flame retardant viscose fiber called Danufil BF. It’s designed for use in home textiles, interior fittings and for acoustic insulation in the automotive sector. Kelheim is based in Germany and is one of Europe's leading viscose staple fiber producers.

Being a combination of organic wood pulp and inorganic silicate structure, the fiber offers inherent flame protection requiring no additional chemical finish. Products based on Danufil BF emit virtually no smoke or toxic fumes. The fibers do not melt or flow when in contact with heat or flame but the organic parts of the fiber burn away, leaving a residual silicate structure which acts as an isolating barrier against the further spread of the fire both into the depth and on the surface.

Viscose is seen as the environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional materials, being biodegradable and comprising 100 per cent renewable raw materials. Being non-toxic, Danufil BF is presented by the company as an alternative to products treated with halogen-based flame retardants. As a result of its large and irregular surface, this fiber meets the prerequisites for various absorption applications. It is suited to all common manufacturing processes and can be processed to both yarn and nonwovens.
