FR-treated contract fabrics are textiles that have been specifically manufactured or chemically treated to resist ignition and prevent the spread of fire, meeting stringent public safety codes. The treatment can be applied topically via a chemical finish (back-coating) or woven using inherently fire-resistant fibers (e.g., Modacrylic, special polyester). These fabrics are required for use in all non-residential/public environments where fire safety is paramount.

Safety Certified Performance for Public Spaces

Compliance with international fire safety standards is non-negotiable in the contract furniture sector. Our FR-treated fabrics provide both the required aesthetic and the critical certification needed for use in hotels, offices, and medical facilities globally.

SUZHOU YIFAN TEXTILE CO., LTD. maintains partnerships with certified chemical suppliers and testing labs to ensure our FR fabrics meet all major standards (e.g., US CAL 117-2013, UK Crib 5). We provide full, verifiable compliance documentation with every shipment, giving contract furniture manufacturers peace of mind and efficient project bidding capabilities.

High-Risk and Public Environments

  • Hotels and Hospitality: Guest rooms, lobbies, and restaurant seating.

  • Healthcare and Hospitals: Waiting areas, patient seating, and curtains.

  • Corporate Offices: Meeting room seating, task chairs, and reception areas.

  • Education/Institutional: Dormitories, lecture halls, and library seating.

Compliance and Longevity

  • Life Safety Compliance: Meets legally required flammability standards, essential for market access and liability protection.

  • High Durability Base: FR treatments are applied to fabrics that already meet heavy contract durability (50K+ double rubs).

  • Variety of Aesthetics: The treatment is compatible with most woven, velvet, and synthetic faux leather fabrics, offering extensive design freedom.

  • Inherently FR Options: Offering fabrics where the fire resistance is built into the fiber itself, preventing the treatment from washing out over time.

Common Buyer Inquiries

  • Q: What is the difference between CAL 117 and BS 5852 Crib 5?

  • A: CAL 117 is a smolder test (US). BS 5852 Crib 5 (UK/EU) is a much stricter ignition source test involving a wooden crib, often requiring heavier treatment or inherently FR fibers.

  • Q: Does the FR treatment affect the fabric's hand-feel?

  • A: Yes, chemical back-coating adds stiffness and body. We use formulations that minimize this effect, but it will generally be stiffer than the un-treated version.

  • Q: Is the FR treatment permanent?

  • A: Inherently FR fibers are permanent. Topical chemical treatments are highly durable but can be reduced by repeated, aggressive washing (which is rare for contract upholstery).

Guide to Material Specification

FR specification must be precise based on location and end-use:

  • End-Use Standard: Clearly state the required standard (e.g., "CAL 117-2013 for US," "Crib 5 for UK").

  • Treatment Method: Specify inherently FR fiber (best long-term) or topical back-coating (cost-effective).

  • Accreditation: Request test certificates from an accredited, independent laboratory, not just internal factory reports.
