The Diolen Safe FR yarn programme has been steadily expanded and refined in accordance with the wide ranging customer requirements from different industry sectors, the company reports.

Various applications are in demand from furniture fabrics in contract and residential to knitted structures and seating solutions for home and commercial use, products for lighting and illumination, innovative mobility concepts from commercial vehicles to airline seats, as well as highly reflective metallised flame retardant fabrics for sunshading systems and not least a variety of technical applications.

Diolen Safe FR yarns, produced by FR Safety Yarns, are used for canvas backings, tents and most recently in textile ducts and diffusers for air ventilation systems geared to heating and cooling.

Personal dialogue

“We intend to initiate a more personal dialogue with architects and interior designers to illustrate the benefits of opting for the trademark Diolensafe,” said Dipl.-Ing. Tim Huizenga, Head of Sales and Marketing, FR Safety Yarns.

“Of course it is not only our merit, but a common effort with the downstream links in the value chain too when textile surfaces are perfectly adapted to the respective application. This is, for instance, the case with 100% Diolen Safe polyester fabric ducts for air conditioning components.”

New architectural trends

Using textile and foil materials is increasingly becoming the standard in advanced industrial and service buildings. New architectural trends demand comfortable air conditioning combined with an appealing design. The draught-free and silent air distribution contributes significantly to a pleasant indoor climate.

Diolen Safe FR polyester yarns with their inherent flame retardant properties comply with the required safety standards in commercial premises and offices, the manufacturer reports. Great stability and high durability of Diolen Safe yarns are said to make the textile hoses resistant to environmental influences and chemicals.

Reliable and sustainable

“Our individual engineering of textile tubes requires an extreme flexibility and high quality of the materials used. We put great emphasis on a reliable and sustainable partner network and have opted for FR Safety Yarns, not least because their production facilities are also based in Germany,” commented Daniel Kienzler, Managing Director Kienzler Textile Ventilation, a specialist in air conditioning components from fabric and foil and a recent partner of Diolen Safe.

“What really convinced us to use Diolen Safe are features like crease resistance, no white breaks, seam slipping strength and no break lines in the fabric when folded – all features that are vital for our air ventilation components.”

Commitment to quality

Diolen Safe is also used for Verosol’s innovative solar shading products. The Verosol Group offers a broad range of fabrics and functional products for home interiors, offices and the hospitality sector. Those products are designed to equally fulfil design aspects and functional requirements such as FR properties and thermal comfort. Daylight control and energy efficiency have a huge impact on their performance, the company reports.

Peter Emmerink, Project Engineer, Verosol Fabrics B.V., said: “With FR Safety Yarns and their variety of Diolen Safe FR yarn qualities we have a reliable and efficient partner for our ambitious contract projects. Diolen Safe yarns are produced in line with the Cradle to Cradle guidelines and meet our commitment to quality, reliability and sustainability.”
