Product Overview
Our Flame Retardant PP Nonwoven Fabric is manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene through advanced spunbond technology, integrated with high-efficiency, halogen-free flame retardant masterbatch during high-temperature melt extrusion. Unlike traditional post-treated or chemically dipped fabrics, our co-extruded fire-resistant fabric provides permanent flame retardancy that will not migrate, chalk, or degrade over time.
It significantly delays ignition, restricts flame spread, and minimizes toxic smoke release, while fully maintaining the raw mechanical strength, breathability, and chemical resistance of polypropylene. Engineered for strict global safety environments, this eco-friendly fabric is low-odor, low-fogging, and 100% recyclable. We offer fully customized formulations tailored to pass your specific regional fire safety codes and environmental audits.
Product Features
Superior Flame Retardancy (Halogen-Free): Limits flame spread without releasing toxic halogens, heavy smoke, or corrosive gases.
Permanent Self-Extinguishing: Automatically extinguishes immediately upon leaving the fire source; zero melting droplets to prevent secondary ignition.
Low Fogging and Low Odor: Meets strict automotive VOC emission standards (under 100 micrograms per gram), ideal for closed transportation and furniture interiors.
Optimized Tensile Strength: Uniform fiber web structure ensures high tensile strength in both Machine Direction and Cross Direction (MD/CD) alongside excellent tear resistance.
Eco-friendly and Circular Economy: 100% recyclable and fully compliant with EU REACH SVHC, RoHS, and OEKO-TEX standards.
Excellent High-Speed Processing: Smooth, non-sticky surface optimized for high-speed automatic slitting, ultrasonic welding, and laminating lines.

Production and Quality Control System
To guarantee every shipment complies with international safety and contract protocols, a rigid 4-Step Quality Control System is implemented:
Raw Material Inspection: We test the Melt Flow Index (MFI) and moisture content of 100% virgin PP, and verify the active ingredient concentration of FR masterbatches before dosing.
On-Line Automated Detection: Advanced high-resolution optical defect scanners monitor the moving web 24/7 to eliminate holes, thin spots, or clumps.
In-House Lab Lot Testing: Every production roll is batch-coded. Samples are cut to undergo internal verification for Flammability (Horizontal/Vertical burning chambers) and Mechanical Performance (Electronic tensile testing).
Pre-Shipment Audit: Random roll inspection is conducted for weight consistency, roll width, and secure moisture-proof export pallet packaging.
Targeted Industry Applications
Automotive Interiors: Headliners, trunk linings, seat backings, door panel insulation, carpet backing, acoustic damping mats, and cabin filtration. (Meets automotive low fogging, low odor, and low VOC emission requirements)
Furniture and Mattress: Flame-retardant barriers for spring mattresses, sofa linings, dust covers, bottom linings, and pocket spring wrapping. (Combines high tensile strength with an excellent fire barrier that resists spring puncturing)
Construction and Insulation: Roof underlayment, wall insulation wraps, house wraps, soundproofing barriers, and fire-resistant decorative base fabrics. (Can be customized with FR + Anti-UV dual functions to withstand long-term outdoor installation)
Medical and Protective Wear: FR isolation gowns, protective coveralls, industrial hoods, boot covers, and disposable safety wear. (Provides excellent protection with a soft, skin-friendly texture for enhanced wearing comfort)
Industrial Engineering: Cable wrapping, air/liquid filtration media, pipeline insulation, and heavy-duty flame-retardant machinery protective covers. (Engineered for high chemical stability and a long fire-retardant service life)
Sustainability and Eco-Compliance
100% Recyclable: Our PP spunbond fabric is fully recyclable, minimizing environmental impact and aligning with global circular economy goals to reduce your carbon footprint.
Skin-Friendly and Non-Toxic: Absolutely free from restricted heavy metals, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Safe for close-contact furniture and medical applications.
Certifications On Demand: We cooperate tightly with independent third-party testing giants like SGS, Intertek, and TUV to provide OEKO-TEX, RoHS, and REACH SVHC compliance reports tailored to your specific order.

FAQ
Q: Is your flame retardant PP nonwoven fabric halogen-free?
A: Yes, absolutely. We prioritize eco-friendly and safe manufacturing. Our flame retardant additives are 100% halogen-free, ensuring the fabric releases minimal, non-toxic smoke in a fire, fully compliant with RoHS and REACH SVHC regulations.
Q: Will the flame retardant properties degrade or migrate over time or after long-term storage?
A: No. Because our high-performance FR masterbatch is directly melted and co-extruded into the core polypropylene fibers during high-temperature production (not via post-dipping or topical coatings), the flame retardancy is permanent and will not migrate, wash out, or degrade during normal storage and dry indoor applications.
Q: Can you provide samples tested against 16 CFR 1633 or FMVSS 302?
A: Yes. We can customize the chemical formula based on your targeted standard (such as FMVSS 302 for automotive interiors or 16 CFR 1633 for mattresses) and provide pre-shipment samples for your own laboratory or third-party (SGS/TUV) verification.
Q: How do you guarantee the consistent distribution of the flame retardant additives in lightweight fabrics (such as 15–30 gsm)?
A: We utilize automated gravimetric multi-component dosing systems and specialized twin-screw compounding extruders. This guarantees that even in ultra-thin, low-GSM nonwovens, the FR masterbatch is perfectly homogenized at the molecular level, preventing any "non-FR weak zones."
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom colors or specific FR ratings?
A: Generally, the MOQ for customized flame-retardant runs is 1 to 2 tons per color or specification, depending on the required GSM and masterbatch formulation. Please contact our sales team for low-MOQ trial orders or stock-supported programs.
Q: Do you offer other functional combinations with fire resistance?
A: Yes, we provide multi-functional treated nonwovens, such as Flame Retardant + UV Resistant (ideal for construction underlayment), Flame Retardant + Anti-static (for protective wear), or Flame Retardant + Hydrophobic.
