Project description

The project aim is to introduce finishing products in the European textile market, to produce textile fabrics resistant to fire with high performance and quality, as requested from evolution of legislation and from customer attention. Moreover, flame retardant finishing on textiles would achieve a multifunctional textile composition having not only fire resistance properties, but also an additional functionality. The project proposed by SMEs engaged in the field of polymer processing will contribute to meet needs and to strengthen the competitiveness of the EU manufacturers.
