Alessandra®
Yarn
Alessandra FR yarns are unique and
proprietary yarns that provide superior flame resistance properties to Home
Furnishings textiles. Fabrics made from Alessandra yarns not only provide
excellent resistance to heat and flame but retain the high quality comfort
characteristics and aesthetics desired in mattresses and upholstered
furniture.
Alessandra’s engineered design
begins with a duel filament core encapsulated by a wrapped sheath yarn
spinning technology. The yarn configuration provides unparalleled FR
performance. The system works because Basofil fiber in the wrapped
sheath stabilizes the carbon char in the fabric, which forms upon flame
exposure. The filament core creates a strong skeletal framework and in
conjunction with the Basofil char prevents flames from penetrating into the
underlying flammable filling materials in mattresses and upholstered
furniture.
