Kanecaron/Protex is a modacrylic fiber developed by Kaneka. Kanecaron® Kanecaron is a functional fiber that possesses the characteristic of high flame retardancy(FR) as well as acrylic fiber's natural attributes of ai softness and dyeability. It is an inherently self- extinguishing FR fiber that imparts excellent flame-retardancy to fabrics and synthetic fibers. Protex® Protex is the advanced FR fiber in the Kanecaron family. Its advanced FR and heat resistance, upon blending, improves FR performance in flammable fibers like cotton or polyester.

When the flame source is removed Protex has a self-extinguishing nature by which combustion stops immediately. Unlike FR treatments, there is no deterioration in flame retardancy after repeated washing or normal use over time.

The properties created by its unique fiber form In addition to being a functional fiber with special properties fit for industrial use, Kanecaron/Protex also possesses unique qualities that make it a perfect fit for a wide range of clothing and interior goods applications. Such qualities are the result of combining modacrylic's attributes and Kanecaron/Protex's original fiper-form molding. By combining with cotton and other cellulosic or natural fibers both functionality and comfort can be achieved. Various processing methods can be applied to create different looks and textures. It excels especially in re-creating varieties of fur-like fabrics.
