In the protective clothing industry, there has been debate about the merits of two types of flame-resistant (FR) fabrics - 'inherent' and 'treated'. These two terms are commonly used to describe different approaches to producing the FR properties of a fibre. Unfortunately, much of what has been written about the distinctions between inherent and treated fabrics has been inaccurate, incomplete or misleading.
