Alexium's Alexiflam-SYN FR treatment for synthetic fabric is a durable and eco-friendly solution that is also compatible with high performance water repellency treatment used in the tenting industry.
“This combination of water repellency and flame retardancy is not something currently offered in the market,” Alexium informed in a press release.
Alexium added that it is in a unique position to provide an effective FR treatment that is also eco-friendly, a quality that will resonate with customers and end-users.
The outdoor fabric market values durability and environmental responsibility, and Alexiflam-SYN can also be used in other end-uses such as marine fabrics and outdoor upholstery.
Alexium is currently negotiating the joint pricing and marketing strategy to include a co-branding campaign which would increase Alexium's brand awareness as well as exposure and product validation.
Alexium has operating locations in Australia, the United States, and Europe and is listed on bourses in Australia, US and France.
In addition to developing stand-alone specialty chemical solutions, Alexium is able to combine novel chemistry in patented Reactive Surface Treatment (RST) technology.
Its solutions include eco-friendly flame retardant treatments, FR polymer additives for non-textile applications, smart surface treatments for high performance materials and multi-functional treatments. (AR)
