PANOX^® - the oxidized fibre for textile applications

PANOX^® is the industry standard when it comes to fire-retardant textile fibres. As an oxidized, thermally stabilized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibre that will not burn, melt, soften or drip, PANOX® is ideal for processing into yarns, woven fabrics, nonwovens and felts.

Applications:
Thanks to a high LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) value, PANOX^® is ideally suited for heat resistant, thermal and acoustic insulation and technical textiles. Typical applications are fire blocking fabrics for seating in aircraft, trains, buses and cars, or protective clothing for fire fighters, armed forces and police personnel, racing drivers and steelworkers.

Key benefits:

• Excellent flammability classification S-a (DIN EN 532/533)
• High thermal stability
• High LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) value
• Physiological harmlessness
