Breathable & Soft Flame Retardant Yarn (Modacrylic/Lyocell)
Overview
Our Breathable & Soft Flame Retardant Yarn is a premium modacrylic/lyocell blend specifically engineered for protective apparel that demands all-day comfort without compromising safety. Unlike traditional flame resistant yarns that can feel stiff, heavy, or uncomfortable against the skin, this yarn delivers a soft hand feel, excellent breathability, and moisture-wicking properties — making it ideal for garments worn for extended periods in hot or physically demanding environments.
Whether you're manufacturing base layers, summer workwear, or FR knitwear, this yarn provides the comfort your workers need and the protection your safety standards require.
Key Features
1. Exceptionally Soft Hand Feel
Lyocell fibers provide a smooth, silk-like softness – reduces skin irritation during long wear
Gentle against the skin – ideal for next-to-skin applications like base layers and underwear
No chemical softeners needed – the softness is inherent to the fiber blend
2. Breathable & Moisture-Wicking
High moisture absorption (11–13% regain) – keeps the wearer dry and comfortable
Excellent breathability – allows heat and vapor to escape, reducing heat stress
Anti-static properties – lyocell's natural moisture content reduces static buildup
3. Inherent Flame Resistance (Permanent)
Flame retardant property is built into the modacrylic fiber – not a chemical coating
Never washes out or wears off – effective for the life of the garment
Compliant with major standards: NFPA 2112, EN 11612, GB 8965.1
4. Good Processability
Suitable for both knitting and weaving
Compatible with standard textile machinery
Available in a range of yarn counts for different fabric weights
