BARRIERFLEX FR FIBERGLASS SOCK FABRIC–CFR 1633
Brookwood Companies, Inc. is introducing a new line of Knitted Fiberglass Sock Fabric (Allesandra) for use with foam mattresses. The BarrierFlex FR Sock is constructed using a patented dual-core yarn from Allesandra. It consists of a fiberglass core wrapped with Nylon and Polyester for superior abrasion resistance, then wrapped again with Basofil and modacrylic for FR performance. The Basofil is inherently nonflammable. The Modacrylic is a flame retarding fiber that works to snuff out the fire. Alessandra FR socks have been successfully tested on foam mattresses to meet 16 CFR 1633 Federal Open Flame Standards.*

The product is available two ways – In easy-to-use sleeves or in tubular roll form in 32" and 39" widths. Other widths are available. For more information and samples, please contact us at 800-426-5468, and ask for the Medical Fabrics Sales Division.


*Alessandra FR socks have been successfully tested on foam mattresses to meet 16 CFR 1633 Federal Open Flame Standards. Below is a representative test performance on a commercial prototype mattress using the Alessandra sock on a 8" polyurethane/visco mattress containing 6" polyurethane/2" visco foam cores with a 100% cotton zippered non FR cover.
