Today, fire safety and thermal insulation are not only essential requirements but also legal obligations. Flame-Retardant Felt, also known as FR Felt, is a specialized technical textile product designed to meet these critical needs. This felt not only withstands high temperatures, but also delays ignition when exposed to flame, does not drip, and self-extinguishes quickly once the flame source is removed.
At Keçe Dünyası, we manufacture a wide range of flame-retardant felts tailored to the required heat resistance of the application—from FR-treated polyester to high-temperature aramid fibers (meta-aramid and para-aramid) and carbon-fiber-reinforced technical blends. Thanks to these fiber options, our felts can withstand temperatures ranging from 180°C to 350°C, and even higher in specialized formulations.
In addition to acting as a thermal barrier that prevents machine components from overheating, this felt slows down flame propagation in the event of a fire, providing critical extra time for safe evacuation. It is indispensable in electrical panels, generator enclosures, and especially in automotive firewall applications that are subject to strict regulatory standards.
Flame-retardant felt is used across all sectors where fire safety and thermal insulation are priorities:
| Feature | Description |
| Material | FR Polyester, Aramid, Carbon Fiber, or technical blends |
| Heat Resistance | 180°C – 350°C (special variants may offer higher limits) |
| Flame Behavior | Flame-retardant, non-dripping, self-extinguishing |
| Thickness | 2 mm – 20 mm (depending on application requirements) |
| Weight (GSM) | 150 gsm – 2500 gsm (high-density insulation options) |
| Electrical Insulation | High dielectric strength for effective insulation |
| Firmness | Soft, Medium, and Firm options |
| Durability | Resistant to high abrasion and thermal shock |
| Cutting Options | Custom sizing, supplied in rolls or sheets |
| Logistics Info | Manufactured in Istanbul – fast nationwide delivery across Turkey |
Yes. From our facility in Istanbul, we provide fast and reliable nationwide delivery to industrial plants, automotive manufacturers, furniture producers, and defense industry companies across Turkey.
Pricing is determined by the material type (Polyester, Aramid, Carbon), FR performance level, thickness, weight (GSM), and order quantity. Felts made with aramid and carbon fibers are priced higher than FR polyester felts due to their superior performance characteristics.
Yes. We provide custom roll or cut-to-size production according to your technical drawings and specifications.
Standard production colors are black, gray, and yellow (especially for aramid felts). Custom colors can also be produced for wholesale orders.
It is a technical felt with flame-retardant (FR) properties, designed to provide resistance to high temperatures and direct flame exposure.
FR polyester felts generally withstand temperatures between 180°C and 220°C, while aramid fiber blend felts can withstand temperatures of 350°C and above.
Aramid felt is produced from high-performance technical fibers (similar to Kevlar® / Nomex®), commonly used in aerospace and defense industries. It offers exceptional heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical stability.
Thickness (2 mm – 20 mm) is selected based on the operating temperature, required insulation volume, and acoustic insulation needs of the application.
Yes. Many FR felt types offer high dielectric strength, providing effective electrical insulation in addition to thermal protection.
Yes. Depending on the application—soft for vibration absorption, firm for structural support—we can produce felts in Soft, Medium, or Firm densities.
No. It is flame-retardant, not completely non-flammable. When the flame source is removed, the material self-extinguishes, prevents flame spread, and does not drip, helping to contain fire growth.
Yes. In furniture and especially mattress production, FR felt is used as a mandatory safety layer to comply with regulations and prevent flame propagation.
Yes. In electrical panels, it provides thermal and fire insulation. In generator enclosures, it helps isolate engine heat and also contributes to noise reduction.
Yes. It is widely used in HVAC ducts and systems to provide flame resistance and thermal insulation.
No. As a technical insulation material, washing is not recommended. Dust and dirt should be removed using vacuum cleaning or light brushing.
High-quality FR felts have low smoke emission. When produced in compliance with standards, the FR additives used are not harmful to health in the final product and are safe for use.
