FEATURED SOLUTION

Worthen PCA offers a variety of fire-retardant coating and lamination systems that serve the textile industry. A specialized PBDE-Free solvent-based system offers a clear fire-retardant solution that binds the active FR agent within the polymer chain. This reduces the probability of migration, unlike heavily compounded fire-retardant powder-based systems. Whether your market is Military, aerospace or general industrial applications, Worthen can meet all your fire-retardant needs.
