How does Firegard® work?
A. When a Firegard® fabric is exposed to flame, three things happen: The surface of the fabric chars to inhibit the spread of flame. The inherently fire retardant fibers give off vapor-phase flame retardants at the fabrics’ surface to extinguish or slow the flames’ progress. The yarns’ heat stable cores maintain a framework for the char layer. This reduces the flames’ access to the material inside a mattress.
