Technology
Radyarn® FR additivation.
The fl ame retardant characteristics are incorporated into the ZeroXy™
polymer and become an intrinsic property of the polymer.
The fl ame retardant characteristics of our fi bres are not obtained through the
traditional processes of yarn fi nishing, but are permanently “sealed” into the
polymer chain, so that the fl ame protection cannot be infl uenced by ageing
or washing. The advanced molecular engineering of ZeroXy™ enables the
retardant and self-extinguishing properties to be embedded in the molecular
structure of the fi bre/yarn so that they cannot be washed away or worn
out. In addition, if compared with fl ame retardant fi nished yarns, ZeroXy™
polymer has a signifi cant advantage: in the event of fi re, it does not release
harmful gases. This property automatically makes the yarn non-toxic.
Furthermore the presence of this polymer eliminates the need for costly and
environmentally hazardous fi nishes.
2. The fi re safety or fl ammability of a material is measured by the Limit Oxygen Index (LOI), that is the lowest
concentration of oxygen, expressed as a percentage, that will support sustained combustion of the material in a
given environment. The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is about 21%. Fibres with LOI values exceeding
21% (Critical Oxygen Index or COI) will have less tendency to burn in the atmosphere.

L.O.I. (Limit Oxygen Index) is the minimum concentration of oxygen for combustion. Fibres with a L.O.I higher than 25% are
considered as fl ame retardant.
ZeroXy™ polyester and, consequently, Radyarn® FR yarns are among the fi bres with the highest LOI, and are suitable
for all applications that require fl ame retardant properties.

3. Radyarn® FR yarn has some additional
outstanding properties:
Excellent light, washing, crocking and abrasive fastness.
Excellent dyeability with superior take-up compared to regular polyester fi bres.
Very good tenacity and yarn uniformity that makes the yarn easily
processable for circular and warp knitting, as well as for weaving.
Fields of Application
Our yarn can be processed following the same specifi cations required for traditional fi bres.
