Key Performance indicators for Wakatac Proban
Garment Lifetime protection
PROBAN® finished fabrics retain their flame retardant properties for the lifetime of the garment. Fabrics acquire their flame retardant properties from the polymer which is embedded into the fabric. It can only be removed by powerful oxidising agents. See wash factors to be avoided
Flame performance
When exposed to flame, PROBAN® fabrics form an insulating char, this stays in place and helps protect the wearer. PROBAN® fabrics do not smoulder, have no afterglow, do not melt and the flame doesn't spread outside the charred area.
