A flame retardant fabric is that one which has been created to protect people, environment and objects against fire and heat.

- Permanent flame retardant fabrics that by its fibers composition joined to its ligament structure is flame retardant from its origins.
The different between them is hat flame retardant fabrics are losing its flame retardant features with time and washes, thus, in order to conserve this features a fire retardant treatment must be applied every x time. However, permanent flame retardant fabrics will resist any kind of wash and will keep their flame retardant features during all their useful life.
