Antimicrobial Fabrics in the Medical Textiles Industry
Antimicrobial Fabrics are treated or made with chemicals which inhibit the growth of bacterial microbes on the fabric.
Herculite fire barrier fabrics form a layer between the exterior mattress tick and the interior support cushion.
The U.S. Congress and CPSC enacted 16 CFR Part 1633, the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame)of Mattress Sets; Final Rule which took effect July 1, 2007. The statute requires mattress makers to incorporate fire barrier fabrics, which are flame-resistant and self-extinguishing when a flame source is removed, into the manufacture of their bedding products. Designed to be integrated into a mattress by forming a layer between the exterior mattress tick and the interior support cushion, fire barrier fabrics work like this:

When the material comes into contact with a flame, the surface of the barrier fabric is designed to char. This inhibits the spread of the flame. The fire barrier fabric yarns maintain a stable framework for the char layer and restrict airflow depleting the fuel for the flame, thus reducing the flames access to the materials deeper inside the mattress.
When a project requires specific features or attributes such as flame resistance, our experienced development team will customize a product to meet your need. As you develop these new applications Herculite welcomes the opportunity to improve your bottom line.
