FR-One fabrics are made from 100% Polyester FR yarns. The inherent nature of polyester FR gives FR-One fabrics the following washing characteristics:
requires less water
lower water temperature resulting in less use of energy
lower water absorption and higher dehydration lowering energy comsumption during drying
less concentration of cleaning agents resulting in lowering of water contamination
better substainability
FR-One fabrics will save energy working towards a greener world.
