Glossary term
Flame barrier
Also known as: Flame-retardant (FR)
A textile engineered to resist ignition, self-extinguish or shield the wearer from flame and heat exposure.
Definition
Flame-barrier textiles are required across military, tactical, emergency services and industrial PPE applications.
Performance is delivered by inherent fibre chemistry, yarn treatments or layered constructions.
Why it matters to DSEAMS
Seperb Liquiyarn supports flame-barrier (FR) attributes directly at the yarn level — engineering FR behaviour into the fibre rather than as a post-production treatment.
