Advantages of PROBAN®
- Comfort is not modified by PROBAN® finish (air permeability, sweat absorption).
- Nearly no action on mechanical strengths of finished fabrics.
- Fabrics can be stored many years without losing FR properties.
The PROBAN® process can be applied to different product lines. We classify them into:
- Knitted
- Woven
Both knitted and woven fabrics can be applied to workwear, furnishing and bedding. When choosing a PROBAN® finished product, the following considerations should be made:
Technical aspects such as the way the articles will be laundered
• A cotton/polyester blended fabric is more popular with industrial
laundries because it is more economical.
• Fabric containing synthetic fibres
will be easier to launder and easier to dry, as synthetic fibres retain
less moisture than cellulosic fibres.
• They will last longer.
• The wash dye fastness of synthetic fibres are higher than those
of cotton fibres, meaning colours will keep their original tones longer
than the fabrics of 100% cotton.
• The crease recovery of a blended fabric is also better than those
of 100% cotton. In some conditions PROBAN® cotton/polyester made garments
can be dried and worn without having to be ironed.
End use
• PROBAN® fabrics are well adapted to metal industries, electrical utilities and systematically it depends on the FR standards in use in the specific country or industry.
