PCA Fire Blanket Fabric Test Video from Colan Products

Breakthrough Fire Retardant Fabrics

Colan Products has developed a range of Colan PCA™ fabrics including Bushfire and General Fire Blankets chosen by the NSW Police, Fire & Rescue NSW, Melbourne Fire Brigade, South Australian CFS amongst others, using Metis PCA™ fibres and yarns.

Where a fiberglass blanket will work in small kitchen fires, people need personal fire blankets that will envelop them in case of fire, whether it be in a bushfire situation or in a housefire. New products are being developed using the fabrics including flash hoods, socks, hospitality blankets and workwear.

The fibre will not carry flame melt or drip. The fibre is not coated with any chemicals (inherently flame resistant) non-toxic and releases no dangerous gases or smoke when burnt. It is also very comfortable next to skin and inherently antistatic.

We tested it against cotton fabrics in the same setting with the same flame to start the fire. The PCA fabric had to be lit with paper on the fabric and it was only the foam under the fabric that caused the fire to start and spread.

We have completed testing with CSIRO and the burn tests results can be seen in the video above.
