Alexium International announced today that Duro Textiles, the licensee of its Ascalon nylon flame retardant treatment, will introduce a range of products to the textiles market at the Techtextil North America show which takes place in Anaheim from 19-1 March.

Techtextile North America is the premier tradeshow for the technical textiles and nonwovens industry. Duro will be showcasing its extensive list of products and Alexium’s novel  Ascalon flame retardant capabilities. The target audience is a broad field of customers in the military and commercial sector seeking unparalleled FR performance on a range of different nylon products.

Over the last nine months, Alexium has worked very closely with Duro Textiles on product development and prioritized the earliest customer applications for the North American textile market.  Duro will continue to market these new capabilities and take pre-orders for new lines of FR-treated nylon products.

Alexium’s novel, environmentally friendly, bromine and halogen-free, flame retardant Ascalon nylon treatment is addressing the need in many different textile markets as well as traditional flame retardant applications.  Shortly after transitioning the Ascalon treatment to Duro’s production floor in Fall River, MA, Alexium will turn its attention to licensing and rollout to partners in other global territories.
