Fire Safety For Military Tents

A big customer for flame retardant fabrics is the Ministry of Defence. Soldiers constantly face an extraordinary array of dangers and elements on active service, fire in camp being one of them. When military tents are treated with flame retardant products, the risks of a hazard caused by a fire event on the tent are much lower. When these materials are exposed to fire; for example, a lit cigarette, the damage will be limited to a small area and won't become fully involved by fire. The fabric will extinguish the fire and additional firefighting actions won’t be necessary.

Flame retardants are added to tents and other textiles to reduce their flammability. They are mostly applied to materials that are susceptible to fire and have to meet strict fire safety standards, such as military tents, uniforms, furniture, construction materials, and more. Our products are quality fire retardants intended for exterior and interior use. These compositions can be applied by impregnation.
