Flame Retardant Nonwoven Fabric - Tri-Barrier Series (GAA580602-2)

Weston Nonwoven's tri-barrier flame retardant nonwoven fabric delivers reliable protection across medical, industrial, and institutional applications. Each roll is manufactured to consistent basis weight, tested against international standards, and available in fully customized specifications to match your project requirements.

Product Parameters & Factory Customization Advantages

All parameters - basis weight, width, color, and functional finish - are adjustable at the project level. Weston Nonwoven operates integrated production lines, allowing these variables to be configured in a single production run with no surcharge for color or width variation within standard equipment parameters. Anti-mite and waterproof finishes are applied inline rather than as secondary laminations, preserving the fabric handle and breathability of the base substrate.

Flame Retardant Performance - ASTM D6413

All flame retardant nonwoven fabric in this series is tested to ASTM D6413, the vertical flame test standard for textile materials.

Both char length results fall well within the 150 mm limit, and afterflame and smoldering times clear the 2-second threshold with margin - confirming consistent flame resistance batch to batch.

Full Test Report - Batch CA12502153701-1

All results meet or exceed specification requirements.

Additional Barrier Properties

Beyond flame retardancy, this nonwoven substrate performs across multiple protection categories:

Hydrostatic resistance: ≤ 20 mmH₂O

Alcohol repellency: Grade 8–10

Anti-static range: 10⁸–10¹² Ω·cm

Additional functional finishes - including waterproof treatment and anti-mite performance - are available and applied based on end-use requirements.

Applications

Medical and Healthcare

This material serves as a core fabric for Professional Disposable Hospital Gowns, surgical drapes, isolation apparel, and sterile packaging liners. Its flame retardant and anti-static combination makes it well suited for environments where both safety compliance and single-use hygiene are required.

As a Nonwoven Medical Protective Clothing Fabric Manufacturer, it meets the barrier and comfort demands of clinical settings while remaining lightweight and processable on standard cut-and-sew lines.

Industrial and Institutional

The same tri-barrier construction applies to FR workwear, cleanroom coveralls, emergency response garments, and any application where ASTM D6413 compliance is a procurement requirement.

Customization

Weston Nonwoven supplies this Medical Pulp Polyester Spunlace substrate as a configurable platform. Parameters adjustable per project include basis weight, roll width, color, and performance finish. Minimum order quantities and lead times are confirmed at inquiry stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency? We have had quality issues with other suppliers where flame retardant performance varied across shipments.

A: Each production batch undergoes in-house testing against ASTM D6413 before shipment, and we retain samples from every batch for traceability. The flame retardant chemistry is applied inline during the nonwoven forming process, not as a post-treatment coating - this significantly reduces the variability risk associated with topical FR finishing. If your order volume justifies it, we can arrange third-party batch testing and provide CoA documentation with each shipment.

Q: Does the flame retardant treatment affect breathability or skin comfort for garment applications?

A: The FR chemistry used in this series is integrated into the fiber structure rather than applied as a surface coating, which preserves air permeability relative to a coated alternative.

Q: What is your standard lead time for a new order, and do you hold safety stock for repeat buyers?

A: Standard lead time is depending on the specification and order volume. For partnerships, bulk orders, or technical inquiries: info@westonmanufacturing.com
