Kanecaron is the registered brand name for modacrylic fibers produced by Kaneka Corporation, Osaka, Japan, the world's leading modacrylic fibermanufacturer.Since 1957, Kaneka has been committed to the development and the production of specialized modacrylic fibers such as Kanecaron.
The Unique Characteristics of Kanecaron
|
| 1. Inherently Flame Retardant Unlike after-treatment or topical finishes, the inherent flame retardant qualities of Kanecaron will not wash off or degrade even after repeated washing. In 1991, Kaneka introduced Protex, an enhanced flame retardant fiber. When blended with cotton, Protex allows its fabric to become flame retardant with no additional FR treatments of any kind. Kanecaron fabrics can meet a large variety of FR standards around the world. For example, Japanese Fire Service Law, JIS L-1091, EN 532, EN 1021, DIN 4102, DIN 54336, NFP 92.503, BS 5438, BS 5852, BS 5867, CSE RF 1/75, CSE RF 3/77, CSERF4/83,UFAC, California TB 133, TB 603, NFPA 701, NFPA 1975, FAA 25.853b, UL 94, FMVSS 302, CNS 10285, CNS 13591, GB 5455-85, GB 50222 and IS 11871. |
| 2. Chemical Resistant Unlike other fiber, Kanecaron resists against both alkali and acid. |
| 3.Thermal Plastic Kanecaron is easily and uniformly elongated by heat. Utilizing this feature, Kanecaron fabric can be molded in a variety of shapes. |
| 4. No Dripping, No Melting Unlike other melting fibers such as polyester, Kanecaron does not melt or drip when ignited. Since Kanecaron is charable (carbonization type), it will prevent and stop burning escalation by forming a carbonized area that diminishes the risk of severe skin burn that might result from hot-melted fibers. |
| 5. Negative Ionic Effect Kanecaron generates a minus ion by friction. |
| 6. Dyeable Kanecaron possesses various desirable properties such as easy-blending with other fibers, dyeability by cationic dyes for excellent coloration. and the smooth processability of regular acrylic fiber. |
| 7. Natural Hand Kanecaron improves flame retardancy when blended with other conventional fibers while at the same time retaining original fiber characteristics, such as softness and a natural appearance. |
