Flame retardant and self-extinguishing
KANEKALON is flame retardant and self-extinguishing as soon as it is removed from the fire source. It is also resistant to melting and dripping*. The flame retardancy is not reduced by shampooing.
* A phenomenon in which when some non-flame retardant synthetic fibers catch fire, the resin may melt and drip in a liquid form. When high-temperature molten substances come in contact with the skin, they can cause burns - making them seriously dangerous.
