Furnishings

Fire protection in the furniture industry is critically important. Home fires account for roughly 80 percent of all structural fires, and they pose the greatest threat to life.

The extra time afforded by the use of Albemarle flame retardants in fabrics and furnishings can save lives in the event of a house fire.

Albemarle flame retardants are used in commercial-grade upholstered furniture, carpets, and wall coverings, as well as transportation upholstery, primarily as mandated by fire safety standards and regulations.

ANTIBLAZE® and SAYTEX® flame retardants are excellent choices for the flexible polyurethane foams and fabrics used in all kinds of furnishings, from your living room sofa to the seat cushions on your next commercial flight and the fabrics and foams used in modern automobiles. Find out more here.
