Modacrylic fiber, Kanecaron® / Protex® is a performance fiber that has the characteristics of high flame retardancy (FR).

The Advantage of Kanecaron / Protex

Inherently Flame Retardant



1. Limit Oxygen Index (LOI)

Kanecaron/Protex exhibits a high LOI figure in comparison to other fibers.

Limit Oxygen Index

LOI is the minimum required oxygen volume (by percent) that a specimen requires to continue burning in a gas mixture of oxygen and nitrogen. The higher oxygen value required to make a test specimen burn equates to a higher FR.
Note: The above are test results conducted by Kaneka Corporation and are not guaranteed.

2.Self-extinguishing

In the case of flammable fabric, fire spreads very quickly when ignited.
Kanecaron/Protex blended fabric will self-extinguish and a char barrier will form that works as a shield to minimize fire damage.

30 seconds after flame source is removed.

Self-extinguishes when flame source removed. Fire spreads even after flame source is removed.

3.FR Standards

Kanecaron/Protex blended fabric can meet various FR standards worldwide despite the different regulations and requirements.
