We recommend
® for its resistance to the flame, its insulating effect to the heat and for its essential properties of smokes behaviour. For these reasons it is usually used in technical fabrics for trains, airplanes, ships and buses.
In other uses like fire barrier or upholstery, moquettes and screens of thermal protection, the protection is combined with the diminution of the fabric weight, giving as result substantial energy savings.
Didon fibre is also used in the construction of the TGV in France and Korea, as well as for the subway network in cities such as London and New York.
The presence of
® in the new textile products used in the transport area makes them suitable for obtaining the corresponding F1 certifications.
