The newest generation of Renegade Plastics’ zero-PVC fire retardant coated fabrics will make their premiere at Techtextil North America in Atlanta, Georgia, May 10–12, 2023, at Booth #2113. The first manufacturer of PVC-free, fire retardant polypropylene coated fabrics that are better for the environment and human health is Renegade Plastics.
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, fire retardants frequently contain dangerous chemicals that can disrupt the thyroid and endocrine systems, cause cancer, be toxic to the reproductive system, disrupt foetal and child development, and interfere with neurobehavioral function.[1] Consumers are more worried about the materials they come into contact with every day and are frequently prepared to pay a premium for safer products as researchers shed more light on the effects of fire retardants on human health. products.
Renegade Plastics has developed a zero-PVC flame retardant coated fabric to satisfy this demand. This fabric uses a patented flame retardant composition without the use of brominated or halogenated additives. Both the European Toy Safety Standard EN71-3:2019 and California Title 19 fire retardant requirements are met by this evolutionary fabric. Most plastic recyclers can recycle Renegade’s PVC-free fabrics, and they can be washed with potent cleaners like chlorine and acetone without damaging the coating. Third-party labs have confirmed that the material is recyclable.

For uses like playmats, gym mats, mattresses, and other items where people come in contact with coated fabric surfaces, they are an environmentally friendly substitute.
