Flame-resistant fiber Lastan™

With an advancing, diversifying and aging of society, incidences of fire and human-made disasters increase, along with growing risks of related accidents.
With the formulation of the Product Liability Act, we are required to prevent the above-mentioned risks as much as possible.

Our flame-resistant fiber Lastan™ has high resistance to heat and flame.
In the event of an accident, it won't burn.
With various postprocessing processes, Lastan™ shields heat and flame, and as the most suitable material for the fire safety related area and industrial material area, it meets social needs and receives a high evaluation.

Features of Lastan™ spatter sheet
  • Fiber made from special acrylate fiber by carbonization-firing.
    Uses fibers which have high resistance to flame and heat.
  • Higher flame resistance (LOI value) than the traditional flame-retardant fibers and heat resistant fibers.
  • Even at high temperature or upon contact with flame, won't melt but will merely glow in the air.
    Excellent dimensional stability.
  • Lightweight fiber with a soft texture and causes no dust problems such as those caused by asbestos.
  • High resistance to flame and heat against slag and sparks during welding or fusing processes.
    Sheet which is resistant to tearing.
  • JIS A 1323 compliant product
Notes
  • When heated for a long time at a high temperature, oxidation degradation can occur in the same way as with glass and asbestos.
  • Because fibers are fired, black fibers can come off in some product types.
  • Cannot be dyed.
Limited oxygen index of Lastan™

A higher limited oxygen index (LOI) means a higher resistance to flame.
Lastan™ is an organic fiber with excellent flame resistance.
