Pattern 'Sherpa' with BlazeGard backing.

BlazeGard® is a fireproof barrier that is revolutionizing fire-retardant textiles. The application process used in BlazeGard® fabrics provides ultimate barrier protection, yet retains the original look and texture of the fabric.

Additionally, BlazeGard® not only provides the highest degree of effectiveness, but is environmentally non-invasive. It is biodegradable and contains no PBDEs. It is non-toxic and halogen free and contains no chemicals that threaten our fragile environment.

Best of all, BlazeGard® gives you the ability to offer your customers a more effective flame barrier at a lower cost!

BlazeGard® passes the following tests:

  • California Technical Bulletins 116, 117, 129, 133, 603 & 604

  • With the addition of a 302 Backing, British Crib 5

  • British Standards Institute’s BS1-5852

  • UFAC Class 1 for Upholstery Fabrics

Combine BlazeGard® with fabrics made with Repreve® recycled yarns for a total 'green' package.

In addition to its continuing recycling program, Absecon is introducing more and more recycled yarns. Here’s a little information on Reprev‚ the recycled polyester in our Accolade Collection…

  • Repreve is made from 100% recycled materials, offsetting the need to use new crude oil. When you buy products made with Repreve, you’re supporting a company that will conserve gallons of gas by making recycled yarns. On average, one pound of Repreve conserves the equivalent of .5 gallons of gasoline. 

  • Repreve requires less energy to produce. Crude oil refining is a long process that consumes precious natural resources and energy—far more than it takes to process recycled materials into Repreve.

  • As a member of 1% For The Planet, Repreve purchases help donate to environmental causes.
