Reliance Industries will use FRX Innovations’ Nofia technology to enhance the sustainable edge of its well-established Recron FS fire-resistant polyester for polyester textile applications. FRX Innovations is an American company offering eco-friendly flame retardant solutions.

Reliance produces polyester staple fibers and filament yarns. Nofia retains a distinctive polymeric phosphorus-based chemistry. Nofia additives are certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for textile applications and other sustainability certifications accrediting that the technology meets these global standards of safety and sustainability.

Recron FS is manufactured at Reliance’s state-of-the-art facilities and Reliance is committed to deliver exceptional fire safety without compromising health, environment and aesthetics. Recron FS is a part of Reliance’s extensive R&D achievements in attaining its commitment to launch new products that are completely sustainable throughout their lifecycle and responsibly using natural resources. Nofia polymeric phosphorus additives deliver improved tenacity. Nofia is the only flame-retardant technology that allows the use of recycled polyester as a feedstock to contents above 60 per cent with the capability of reaching above 90 per cent. This ability to use it with recycled polyester makes it a sustainable technology. The new technology also enables adjustable flame retardancy from levels of 7,000 ppm to 25,000 ppm of phosphorus, depending on end-user needs.
