ReFLEX TECHNOLOGY

Cationic polyester is that has been chemically modified to possess a permanent cationic, or positive, charge. Although the concept of cationic treated has been available for many years, this innovative technology has continued to grow in popularity among companies exploring ways to reduce water, energy and chemical consumption in the development of their products.

When immersed in water, polyester possesses a neutral or mildly negative charge.. Like common poles of magnets, same charges repel each other. Cationic treated polyester is chemically modified to possess a permanent cationic, or positive charge, making it easier to dye and increasing dye utilization.

This in turn creates a shorter and more efficient dyeing process that utilizes less water, energy and chemicals. Polyester can be treated with the cationic process in fiber, yarn, or fabric form.

Cationic yarns reflects solar glare and heat for cooler temperatures in the summer while the insulating construction reduces drafts, air conditioning and heating bills.

OEKO TEX STANDARD

Since its introduction in 1992, the main objective of the STAND 100 by OEKO-TEX® is to develop test criteria, limits and test methods on a scientific basis. Its extensive and strict catalog of measurements, with several hundred specific regulated substances, allows the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® to consider:

° Important legal regulations such as prohibited azo dyes, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, cadmium, nickel, etc.
° Numerous chemicals harmful to health, even if they are not yet regulated by legislation.

° Requirements of Annexes XVII and XIV of the European Regulation on REACH Chemical Substances, as well as of the list of SVCH Candidate Substances of ECHA (European Chemical Substances Agency), provided, in the opinion of the Community expert group OEKO-TEX®, are relevant for fabrics, textile products, garments or accessories. The debates and developments that are considered relevant are incorporated as quickly and effectively as possible by updates to the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® requirements.
° US Consumer Product Safely Improvement Act (CPSIA) requirements for lead.

GERMAN DIN 4102 B1-NFPA-701 FR STANDARD

° Classification conditions B1
The minimum residual length is 150mm. The maximum temperature of the smoke is 200 ° C.
° Classification conditions B2
The time to reach the marked point is at least 20 seconds. The paper does not burn. The drops are scorching for a maximum of 2 seconds.
° Fire gallery test
Inside a test chamber containing a burner, a test sample is hung in a vertical position. For 10 minutes, a flame and a constant flow of air from below are applied simultaneously. The temperature of the smoke and the length of the undamaged part of the sample are measured.

° German standard DIN 4102 (B1) Test B2
The test sample is placed in a test frame that hangs in a test chamber. For 15 seconds, a burner flame is applied. The time it takes to reach a marked point is measured. With the help of a paper placed below the sample, the presence of searing drops is observed.
° German standard result DIN 4102 (B1)
The material is classified as:
-B1 schwerentflammbare Stoffe;
-B2 normalentflammbare Stoffe;
-B3 leichtentflammbare Stoffe.
