Absecon Mills is now offering our BlazeGard® flame barrier as an improved alternative to the options currently available.
BlazeGard® is a fireproof barrier that is revolutionizing fire-retardant textiles. The application process used in BlazeGard® fabrics provides ultimate barrier protection, yet retains the original look and texture of the fabric.
Additionally, BlazeGard® not only provides the highest degree of effectiveness, but is environmentally non-invasive. It is biodegradable and contains no PBDEs. It is non-toxic and halogen free and contains no chemicals that threaten our fragile environment.
Best of all, BlazeGard® gives you the ability to offer your customers a more effective flame barrier at a lower cost!
BlazeGard® passes the following tests:
California Technical Bulletins 116, 117, 129, 133, 603 & 604
With the addition of a 302 Backing, British Crib 5
British Standards Institute’s BS1-5852

Combine BlazeGard® with fabrics made with Repreve® recycled yarns for a total 'green' package.
In addition to its continuing recycling program, Absecon is introducing more and more recycled yarns. Here’s a little information on Repreve®‚ the recycled polyester in our Accolade Collection…
Repreve is made from 100% recycled materials, offsetting the need to use new crude oil. When you buy products made with Repreve, you’re supporting a company that will conserve gallons of gas by making recycled yarns. On average, one pound of Repreve conserves the equivalent of .5 gallons of gasoline.
Repreve requires less energy to produce. Crude oil refining is a long process that consumes precious natural resources and energy—far more than it takes to process recycled materials into Repreve.
As a member of 1% For The Planet, Repreve purchases help donate to environmental causes.
