Why do we need
flame retardant
products?
Casualties due to fires
Death per 100,000 Personen
Geneva Association, “World Fire Statistic” No. 27, Oct. 2011
Victims in 2006-2008
12
Why do we need flame retardant
products?
• According to the US National Institute for Science and Technology, NIST,
the escape time has reduced to as little as 3 min compared to 17 min 30
years ago. This is a result to the increased fire fuels
(consumer products and home decorations).
• Fires kill some 100 000 persons per year worldwide*.
• Majority of people die due to inhalation of toxic gases not from fire
• Reduce the risk of damage of buildings & reputation
• Reduce the risk of liability and insurance issues
• Legal fire safety standards
• Instructions of fire authorities
• Recommendations of insurance companies
• Safety standards set by hotel chains on a worldwide level
• Growing general safety consciousness

13
Fire risk situations
Fires can start because by
Thoughtlessly thrown away cigarettes
Careless handling of ignition sources
Electrical defaults
Deliberate ignition
14
Burning behaviour of textiles
textiles are made from ignitable materials
textiles contain up to 95 % of air
- jeans fabric 50 % of air
- net curtain 95 % of air
textiles, such as curtains are often bone dry
(since they hang over a heating device near the window)
These are ideal conditions to start a fire !
15
How can fire safety and
textiles go together?
Textiles consist of highly ignitable materials
Textiles are often the primary source of ignition
Textiles contribute to rapid spreading of fire
But:
without textiles a hotel room would not be very attractive
16
How can textiles become
flame retardant?
1. through chemical FR
treatment of fabrics
2. through FR modified
fibers and yarns

The hospitality sector:
a major market for Trevira CS fabrics
Textiles are an important element
in a hotel room
relating to functions:
comfort, safety, acoustics,
etc.
relating to design:
underlines brand image, etc.
Flame retardant fabrics are often
requested by law or by safety
guidelines of hotels
In 4 and 5 star rooms, roughly
12 kg of fabric are used
35
The hospitality business
The hospitality sector is a
special business with a
complex process of decision

What is the FTP Code?
International Code for Application of Fire Test
Procedures published by IMO
it provides international requirements for laboratory

- test for surface flammability (part 5)
- test for vertically supported textiles and films (part 7)
- test for upholstered furniture (part 8)
- test for bedding components (part 9)

The Trevira service package
How does Trevira help its customers to get their
Trevira CS fabics on board of cruise ships?
In cooperation with the Berufsgenossenschaft Verkehr
(BG Verkehr), which is a notified body, Trevira has
developed a procedure to provide its customers with
all necessary documentation to sell fabrics directly into
the cruise ship market.

Building certificates
Experts believe that without a sustainability report or certificate, buildings will be sold off
only with great difficulty in the future.
BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method)
The oldest systems for sustainable buildings. Developed in Great Britain in 1990, it
considered environmental impacts on: Energy, Management, Health & Wellbeing,
Transport, Water, Materials, Waste, Land Use, Pollution and Ecology.
http://www.breeam.org, http://www.bre.co.uk/greenguide,
LEED Certificate (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC, http://www.usgbc.org/) and
introduced in 1998, LEED certifies buildings designed and built aiming at improving
performance. http://www.usgbc.org,
DGNB (Deutsches Gütesiegel Nachhaltiges Bauen / German Sustainable Building
Council)
Six aspects influence the evaluation: ecology, economy, social-cultural and functional
topics, techniques, processes, and location. www.dgnb.de
Haute Qualité Environnementale or HQE (High Quality Environmental standard)
French standards are based on the principles of sustainable development as first
described in the Earth Summit in 1992. HQE is similar to the LEED certification.
58
Sustainable Textile labels and
certificates
Here some labels and certificates as example:
Oekotex 100 (Ökotex)
Developed in 1992 and today a globally recognised testing and certification
system, Oekotex serves as a reliable indicator that textile products are not
harmful to health in terms of possible toxic substances.
www.oekotex.com
EN ISO 14001
Worldwide recognised standard for environmental management system. It is
a management tool to identify and control the environmental impact of the
activities, products and services of an organisation, to improve its
environmental performance continually and to implement a systematic
approach to setting and achieving targets.

Sustainability at Trevira
What makes Trevira „green“?
The raw material Polyester
40% of global textile consumption is covered by 0.6% of total consumption of crude oil.
(Source IVC, 2008)
To produce one tonne of fibres, 25.000m³ of water is needed for cotton but only 4m³ for
polyester
Polyester is kind to the skin and can be applied in the food and the health sector
Certifications
According to DIN ISO 9001, 14001 and Oekotex
Trevira achieves massive savings of energy and CO2 emissions due to continuous production
processes: the polymerisation process is directly followed by fibre spinning, thus avoiding the
production of intermediate products (chips).
The product Trevira CS
An economy investigation carried out by the London Fabric Care Association has shown that
flame retardant Trevira CS textiles reveal a positive energy balance, unlike cotton:
Water consumption during washing of Trevira CS textiles is very low due to slight receptivity of
the Trevira CS fibre to water.
Detergent requirement is also lower as a result of less tendency to soil and easy stain
removal.
Compared with natural fibres less energy is needed for washing and drying.
