COATS astra FR

COATS astra FR is a spun polyester thread with passive flame-retardant properties. It is produced to conform to U.S. Legislation CFR 1615 on flammability in children's sleepwear, as adopted by many leading U.S. retailers.

COATS astra FR has been tested in our laboratories and has proven satisfactory even under difficult flammability conditions. Proper seam construction is an integral part of the testing.

Clearly thread is only one element that impacts total garment flammability, and the use of a flame-retardant thread will not help if the fabric is flammable. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the use of a standard thread with no flame-retardant characteristics can cause the seams of a garment to fail standard flammability tests even when the fabric is flame-retardant.

The special L635 finish has been developed by Coats North America to conform to U.S. legislation and is covered by strict auditing procedures:The special L635 finish has been developed by Coats North America to conform to U.S. legislation and is covered by strict auditing procedures:

  • Any Coats facility manufacturing astra FR must send a sample to a central location for testing every six months on an ongoing basis.
  • To ensure the integrity of the finish application process, each finishing order for astraR FR must be tested for finish content and composition.
