When can you apply the FR Knit-Backing

In order for our specialized FR- FabBack® to be effective and in compliance with the NFPA-260 code, it can only be bonded to fabrics that are either processed inhouse with our FR FlameGard® treatment or with performance fabrics that are inherently flame resistant.

A Certificate of Application will be provided to clients with the completion of each order stating that the fabric(s) and the knit-backing submitted to FabricBack was treated for the NFPA-260.
