Looking for more information on fireproofing?

Our fireproof technology is based on the application of specialized processes that slow down or prevent the combustion of textiles by delaying flame spread, preventing the propagation of chain reactions during ignition. This includes heat absorption, modification of thermal degradation, and reduction of combustible gas production, achieving a safe and efficient fireproofing effect.

What is a fireproof treatment in technical textiles?

Fireproofing treatment consists of a technical finish that blocks the oxygen supply necessary for combustion, transforming any fabric into a fire-resistant surface. At Alonso Mercader, we use advanced technologies such as:

IP (Active Polyurethane Fire Retardant): a coating that converts fabrics into M1 barriers, regardless of their original composition, with a minimum level of smoke and water impermeability of 1 m/cm², while maintaining softness and a pleasant feel.
RS (Flocked Resin): a system that provides a unique fireproof finish, offering a pleasant feel on the reverse side without compromising the overall softness of the fabric.
SP (Transfer support): allows any fabric to be made fireproof by lamination, ensuring dimensional stability and the appearance of the finished product.

These innovations ensure that textiles maintain their integrity, softness, and aesthetic appearance even in hazardous situations.

Benefits of fireproof treatment

Alonso Mercader’s fireproof finish offers decisive advantages in terms of safety, functionality, and durability:

Fire protection: prevents the spread of flames and reduces the risk in the event of fire.
Regulatory compliance: guarantees safety in accordance with the most demanding regulations, including level M1.
Extended durability: maintains the strength and aesthetics of the fabric during intensive use.
Preserved feel and comfort: IP, RS, and SP treatments do not compromise the softness or texture of the material.
Versatile application: suitable for curtains, upholstery, acoustic panels, carpets, and technical coverings.
Smoke reduction: minimizes gas emissions in case of combustion, increasing safety in public and communal environments.

These benefits make fire-retardant textiles an indispensable tool for high-end projects, where safety and aesthetics must coexist without compromising functionality.

Applied technology: IP, RS, and SP

IP – Active Fire-Retardant Polyurethane: blocks combustion and converts fabrics into M1 fire-retardant barriers, maintaining softness and a pleasant feel. Its water impermeability makes it suitable for sectors such as hospitals, contract and communities, without losing functionality or aesthetics.
RS – Flocked Resin: offers a unique finish with a pleasant feel on the reverse side, preserving the total softness of the product. Ideal for upholstery and panels that require frequent contact with users.
SP – Transfer Support: allows fireproof properties to be applied to any fabric by lamination, ensuring dimensional stability and a uniform and professional finished product. This facilitates the customization and adaptation of fabrics to demanding design projects.

Applications of fire retardant treatment

Alonso Mercader’s fireproof-treated fabrics are suitable for all types of projects where safety is a priority, including:

Upholstery and technical furniture: sofas, armchairs, chairs, and panels that require protection against flames.
Technical coverings and curtains: maintaining aesthetics and functionality in high-risk environments.
Intensive use projects: hospitals, hotels, theaters, auditoriums, cinemas, and communities where fire prevention is critical.

The combination of durability, aesthetics, and safety makes these textiles a comprehensive solution for architects, interior designers, and specifiers who seek quality and reliability in every project.
