Under its Mount Vernon FR brand, Mount Vernon Mills has introduced two new FR fabric collections; MY FR custom yarn-dyed stripes and plaids, as well as Nanuq CWI quilted fabrics.

The new yarn-dyed stripes and plaids will be part of Mount Vernon FR's custom-designed MY FR program, and will be made using the brand's 7.25-ounce Amtex Plus 88 FR fabric.
“The new range will be ASTM F1506 compliant, NFPA 70E category 2 and NFPA 2112 component recognised,” it added.
Yarn-dyed fabrics provide improved durability and pattern integrity through the rigours of industrial laundering compared to printed fabric, offering customers a more premium option for their patterned FR apparel.
“Each customer-specific design will require a minimum of 5,000 yards of fabric, which will yield approximately 3,000 finished shirts,” Mount Vernon explained.
Nanuq CWI is Mount Vernon FR's new line of quilted FR fabrics. Here too, these quilted fabrics will use the brand's Amtex Plus fabric or 100 per cent cotton Amtex C100 FR fabric.
Initially, Nanuq CWI will be offered in 10-ounce, 13-ounce and 14-ounce weights and all Nanuq CWI quilted fabrics will be NFPA 2112 component recognised.
Mount Vernon Mills is a 170-year-old manufacturer of textile, chemical and related products for the apparel, industrial, institutional and commercial markets.
Mount Vernon FR is part of Mount Vernon Mills' Apparel Fabrics Group, which produces denim, flame resistant and piece-dyed fabric and accounts for 50 per cent of all company sales. (AR)
