Textiles made from these FRP fibers like Trevira are permanently flame retardant due to the modification of the chemical structure of the synthetic (polyester) fiber. The resulting FRP fabric does not burn and will meet a number of industry fire protection standards; however, FRP fabrics have been limited to non-apparel application, because they do not produce a protective char once burned. Despite their shortcomings, FRPs fabrics are used widely in industry.
