Pyroshell™ technology is a patented, permanent flame protection for polyamide and polyester fabrics and represents a milestone in the field of protective equipment for synthetic textiles. Pyroshell™ is revolutionising flame protection by significantly reducing the risk of burns. When a fabric equipped with Pyroshell™ is exposed to a flame, its textile structure expands substantially in volume. This effect keeps heat and fire-promoting gases largely away from the fabric. Therefore the time between the first sensation of pain from heat exposure and the onset of second-degree burns doubles. As a result, wearers gain valuable additional reaction time compared to conventional flame protection solutions.

The partnership with Alpex, Majocchi, and Trans-Textil enables the Pyroshell™ technology to be implemented even more efficiently within production processes and made accessible to a broader customer base. Alpex Protection (France) specializes in technical textiles and functional fabrics, Majocchi (Italy) manufactures high-quality textiles for the military, PPE, and luxury/fashion sectors, and Trans-Textil (Germany) produces innovative materials for safety and operational applications. The goal is to provide high-quality, safe, and comfortable functional and protective textiles throughout Europe.

“We are very excited about collaborating with our experienced partners in Germany, France, and Italy,” says Detlef Fischer, CEO of TEXTILCOLOR AG. “Together, we can leverage Pyroshell™ optimally within the production processes. The technology provides not only maximum protection but also exceptional comfort for users in demanding operational environments.”
