VOGT-CTE - WE DELIVER FLAME RETARDANTS

The increasing prevalence of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, solar systems, and many electronic devices brings not only technological advancements but also new challenges in fire safety.

Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries pose unique risks, as conventional fire extinguishers designed for standard fire types are often not adequately effective.

This can delay extinguishment and significantly increase the extent of damage and danger. In response to this issue, “FlameBlock Lithium Black” is introduced as an innovative safety solution specifically developed for lithium-ion battery fires.

FABRICSHIELD by FIRELAB - Textile Fires - Fire Retardant Textile Treatment - Molecular Fire Control for Fabrics

FABRICSHIELD by FIRELAB represents fire-resistant protection for textiles. The product line was developed to make textile materials safer by delaying ignition and slowing the spread of flames. FABRICSHIELD is a water-based, fire-retardant solution for textile materials. Within the product family, there are two distinct product variants:

  1. FireLab FABRICSHIELD Spray
    A ready-to-use spray solution for private users, smaller areas, and simple applications indoors and outdoors.
  2. FireLab FABRICSHIELD Industrial
    A professional, industrial-grade textile treatment for large areas, series applications, and commercial processing. This product is not applied with a small trigger spray but with suitable industrial or professional application methods.

Both products pursue the same goal: textiles should not catch fire unnecessarily quickly, and the spread of fire should be slowed down. The difference lies mainly in the target audience, packaging, application method, and scope of use.

Basic Idea of FABRICSHIELD

Textiles are everywhere: curtains, cushions, seat covers, decorations, stage fabrics, event materials, tents, tarps, table linens, and textile coverings. They create comfort, atmosphere, and functionality. However, in the event of a fire, they can become a risk if they are untreated and easily ignitable.

FireLab FABRICSHIELD reduces this risk. The product is applied to suitable textile materials and leaves a flame retardant residue after drying. This active ingredient intervenes in the combustion process, delays ignition, and slows the spread of flames.

The underlying formulation is water-based and is described in the documentation as biodegradable and environmentally friendly. According to the data sheet, the effect is based on raw materials that intervene in the combustion mechanism at a molecular level.

FireLab FABRICSHIELD makes textile materials safer. Whether as a simple spray for private and smaller applications or as an industrial solution for large-scale textile treatment: FABRICSHIELD delays ignition, slows flame spread, and supports passive fire protection where fabrics, covers, and textile surfaces are used.

Target Audience for FABRICSHIELD

FABRICSHIELD Industrial is aimed at professional users and companies that regularly or extensively treat textile materials. Typical target groups include:

  • Textile manufacturers
  • Tarpaulin manufacturers
  • Tent manufacturers
  • Manufacturers of event and exhibition textiles
  • Industrial companies
  • Agricultural businesses with large tarps
  • Commercial suppliers
  • Trade fair builders
  • Theater and stage suppliers
  • Object and hotel furnishers
  • Wholesalers of technical textiles
  • Professional fire protection service providers
  • Businesses with large textile storage or covering systems

For these target groups, it is crucial that the application is not only effective but also economical, uniform, and scalable.

Typical Applications for FABRICSHIELD

FABRICSHIELD Industrial is particularly suitable for textile materials that are used on a large scale or need to be processed in high quantities. Typical applications include:

  • Tent fabrics
  • Event tents
  • Large tarps
  • Agricultural tarps
  • Industrial cover fabrics
  • Canvas materials
  • Stage fabrics
  • Theatrical fabrics
  • Exhibition and event textiles
  • Hotel curtains in bulk
  • Fabric for commercial use
  • Upholstery fabrics for commercial settings
  • Textile wall or ceiling elements
  • Decorative fabric panels in public buildings

Especially for large textile surfaces, a professional application is essential to ensure that the product is applied evenly and the desired fire-retardant effect can be reliably achieved.

Advantages of FABRICSHIELD

FABRICSHIELD Industrial offers the same fundamental fire protection concept as the spray, but is designed for professional requirements. It is not about individual curtains or small household applications, but about larger quantities, repeatable processes, and textile applications on an industrial scale. Key benefits:

  • No special transport regulations according to documentation
  • Suitable for textile safety concepts in public, commercial, and industrial areas

FABRICSHIELD - Application on Acoustic Insulation Panels

FABRICSHIELD can be applied to textile or open-pored acoustic insulation panels to reduce their flammability and slow the spread of fire. The product is evenly applied to the surface so that the fibers and pores are adequately wet without visibly altering the acoustic function.

After drying, FABRICSHIELD forms a nearly invisible protective film. In the event of a fire, the coating helps to inhibit ignition and significantly delays the spread of flames on the insulation panels.

Since the material composition, density, coating, and surface structure of acoustic insulation panels can vary by manufacturer, suitable tests and fire safety evaluations must be conducted on the respective material system before application. Only in this way can it be ensured that the required protective effect and the relevant requirements are met in the specific application case.
