PROBAN® has an established reputation for offering reliable flame
retardant properties to cotton and cotton rich fabrics, built on 50 years
experience. PROBAN® was first developed in 1955 to provide protection
for children’s sleepwear.
Since then PROBAN® finished fabrics have been developed for use in
a wide range of applications including Personal Protective wear, upholstery
and soft furnishings, mattress ticking and as protective wear for racing
drivers.
Recently PROBAN® is contributing to the new concept of multi-layer protection, as it is applied to knitted fabrics used for sweatshirts and t shirts. Wearers can now have several layers of protection from the hardy overalls right down to soft handle t-shirts.
