At Pincroft, we are Europe’s leading expert in the application of flame retardant fabric treatments onto a variety of textiles, with decades of experience behind everything we do. We are also able to process inherent flame retardant fabrics with no effects on their performance.
Our core focus is on PPE and that market’s evolving needs for FR finishes creating ultimate protection for the wearer from thermal hazards such as flash fire, arc flash and molten metal. Our FR treated fabrics are also found in automotive, furnishing (contract and domestic) and industrial products, using both durable and non-durable systems.
The textiles which receive our flame retardant fabric treatments combine versatility and superior performance with outstanding wearer comfort, appearance and durability. All produced in one of the most modern bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing facilities in the world.
Solvay Proban® FR Treatment
We are Europe’s largest producer of Solvay’s Proban® treated fire safety textiles, offering unrivalled flame retardant protection for the lifetime of the garment,
All FR fabrics follow a strict quality control programme and are independently tested by UKAS ISO 17025 accredited facilities to ensure compliance to the relevant FR specifications.
Proban® is a quality controlled technological process that gives cotton and cotton-rich textiles flame retardant properties that are durable to long term use. Articles manufactured from Proban® fabrics provide reliable flame retardant performance and peace of mind to industrial, institutional and end-consumers throughout the world while conforming with industry fire regulations. Moreover, Proban® fabrics maintain their strength, colour and flame retardant protection properties when exposed to UV light and are thus perfectly suitable for outdoor work environments.
Proban® fabrics are halogen free and contain no antimony.
