Rivercyclon® 450 FR Sets a New Standard in Flame-Retardant Technical Textiles
Rivertex is proud to introduce
Rivercyclon® 450 FR—a groundbreaking innovation in technical textiles that redefines what's possible in fire safety and sustainability.
Unmatched Flame Retardancy Rivercyclon® 450 FR is
the first flame-retardant fabric made entirely from polypropylene to pass the world’s most demanding fire safety standards. Unlike traditional polypropylene materials, which are not typically fire resistant, Rivercyclon® 450 FR delivers
exceptional fire performance across global certifications, including:
- CPAI 84, NFPA 701-1 (USA)
- BS 7837 (UK)
- DIN 4102-1 B1 (Germany)
- NFP 92-507 M1 (France)
- EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0 (EU)
- AS/NZS 1530 (Australia/New Zealand)
- UNI 9177 Classe 2 (Italy)
This positions it as a
high-performance, safety-compliant fabric suitable for even the most regulation-sensitive environments—such as public events, exhibitions, industrial shelters, and temporary architecture.
Sustainable by Design What truly sets Rivercyclon® 450 FR apart is its
mono-material construction. Made entirely from polypropylene—including both the base fabric (PP 1100Dtex) and the coating—this textile is
fully recyclable, unlike PVC-coated fabrics. It also boasts a
CO₂ footprint up to 40% lower, is lighter in weight, and reduces both material use and transport emissions.
High Performance Without Compromise- Weight: 450 g/m²
- Tear Strength: ≥ 150 N
- Tensile Strength: ≥ 2400 N/5cm
- Flex Resistance: Over 100,000 cycles
- Operating Temperature: –30°C to +70°C
- Weldable: Compatible with hot air, hot wedge, and impulse welding
The Future of Fire-Safe, Eco-Friendly Fabrics As industries seek safer and more sustainable materials, Rivercyclon® 450 FR emerges as a
true next-generation textile—delivering
top-tier fire resistance without the environmental compromises of traditional coated fabrics.
