Saran™ fiber has high flame retardant ability itself. The fluctuation of flame retardancy is less than other material with flame proof finishing. And it has excellent resistance against various kinds of chemicals. Six compounds (Pb , Hg ,Cd, CrⅥ, PBBs, PBDEs) listed in RoHS(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) are not contained in Saran™ Fiber.
Available with a honeycomb structure as Saran™ Honeycomb, and with a mesh structure as Saran™ Screen.

Saran™ fiber is inherently self-extinguishing, making the addition of flame-retardants unnecessary. This means consistent, uniform flame-retardant properties, free from variations which occur during flame-retardant compounding. Saran™ fiber plays an important role in applications requiring high flame-retardant properties.
Saran™ filament is resistant to acids and alkalis, and is insoluble in oils and most organic solvents, making it suitable for use in applications involving exposure to chemicals. (Note that it is soluble in some solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and cyclohexanone.)
