Basofil^® heat and flame resistant fiber is based on patented melamine technology.  Basofil fiber has the same characteristics typical of other common melamine based materials: heat stability, low flammability, high wear performance, solvent resistance and ultraviolet resistance. In addition, Basofil fiber meets all known environmental regulations with regard to processing and use.

The outstanding properties of Basofil^® fiber are its high Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), low thermal conductivity, excellent heat dimensional stability and that it does not shrink, melt or drip when exposed to flame.   See fiber properties in table below.

The fiber can be processed on standard textile machinery for woven, knit and nonwoven fabrics, as well as papers and other related materials.

Basofil fiber has an ivory-white color and is dyeable.
