PCA Fibre

Colan's new PCA Frontline Fire Blankets and Welding Blankets now in stock 

THE NEW TECHNOLOGY

PCA Fibre is a new, innovative technical textile. The fibre is a synthetic polyacrylate with exceptional high temperature resistance. This unique fibre is able to combine comfort with high performance. With its precious moisture measurement and natural soft touch, PCA fibre preserves the comfort in quality products that are required to comply with FR standards. The exceptional inherent fire protective characteristics together with the low toxicity and opacity of smokes allow meeting the most stringent standards both in terms of fire and smokes. The fibre does not drip, melt or carry flame.

The fibre is good close to skin, lightweight and perfect to be kept in the car or home as personal fire protection.

The welding blankets can be used directly only surfaces such as a car to protect the car from sparks from welding. 

BLENDABILITY & QUALITY

PCA Fibre can be easily blended with other commodity and technical fibres to enhance fire and smoke performances resulting in cost effective products where PCA Fibre’s added values such as antimicrobial properties, moisture management, insulating effect etc. assure a high quality of the final products.

The highly cross-linked polycarboxylate chemical structure of the polymer matrix gives the fibre many of its properties

HYDRIPHILICITY-SOFTNESS-CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

•Key performances:

• Low toxicity of gases and opacity of smokes

• High LOI values

• Excellent Heat dimensional stability

• Low thermal conductivity

• Excellent Moisture Management

• Soft Hand Touch

• Good Chemical resistance

• High UV resistance

• Inherent Antimicrobial properties

PCA Fibre uniquely combines its low smokes emissions with heat dimensional stability for high performances in closed places such as buildings and transport vehicles were gases and visibility inhibit the escape.

PCA Fibre fire-blocking barriers are classed F1 and compound fabrics including PCA Fibre can reach the classification F2 according to NF F 16-101

The very low heat release values and the excellent fire resistant characteristics guarantee the compliance to the most stringent standards for the rail industry.

The good levels of moisture regain and MVTR permits a moisture management action that helps in preventing heat strokes.

One of the lowest value of thermal conductivity is the base for a high level of TTP (Thermal Protective Performance) PCA Fibre intimate blends enhance comfort keeping high protection performances with light-weight fabrics

Anti-microbial inherent properties favour an anti-odour effect.
