The high-tech fibre, PyroTex, has come up with a new fibre multifunctional blanket that is not only flame-resistant, but also a well-designed accessory for living, car, outdoor and leisure. PyroTex, which has been used in areas that require fire resistance like in aircrafts, work clothing or in filtration can now be used in home and outdoor textiles. 

 

PyroTex offers safest and most skin-friendly way to protect from flames with textiles. 

 

"Thanks to its unique inherent properties, our fibre can do much more than protect against fire. PyroTex is soft and warm. In addition, it is permanently antibacterial without any chemical additives. It was an obvious step that manufacturers of lifestyle products would also like to use the fibre, especially since it is certified in accordance with Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex. It just makes sense to combine security and comfort in the area of home textiles," Robert Jarausch, managing director of PyroTex Industries GmbH, Hamburg, said in a press release.

 

"There are sales opportunities for our fibres especially where there are special and very complex requirements," Jarausch added. Giving the example of public transport he said "In the event of a fire, the risk of suffocation from flue gases is often greater than the risk of injury from fire. Because PyroTex does not develop toxic fumes, it is used for the covers of aircraft seats and the fire blockers underneath."

 

"In sum, the properties of the PyroTex fibre cannot be compared to any of the flame-resistant fibres available to date," Jarausch said in the release. The new multifunctional blankets, for example, have been awarded the M1 certificate. 

 

PyroTex Industries GmbH is active in five continents. Over the next few years, the management plans to increasingly address manufacturers of consumer products in addition to the technical areas. "Approaching the topic of security from the fibre and thinking inherently: This is where we see the future. The multifunctional blanket made by our customer 'Ask the Fox' will not only be found in private households, but also in hotels or on cruise ships - and in many cars," the company said in the press release.
