Further to
the announcement made on 23 April 2007, Eco Chemical Enterprises plc
("ECE") is pleased to announce the successful presentation of the results of
the trials of Perachem FR, its flame retardant fabric treatment, at the recent
CRIET conference in Istanbul. This
is an annual, international conference for the European textile
finishing industry.
ECE
specialises in developing products that have limited impact on the environment
and health while still providing performance equivalent to conventional treatments
or processes. Perachem FR is a wash-durable, high-performing flame retardant
which does not generate formaldehyde emissions during manufacture or use
(according to the International Association for Research on Cancer formaldehyde
is a "Group 1" proven
human carcinogen by inhalation); it also avoids the need for any liquid
ammonia storage by the fabric coater. These attributes are seen in the industry
as bringing major benefits.
Andrew Bayliff, ECE's Chief Executive, commented, "I am delighted with the response to our Perachem FR presentation from so many fabric coaters across Europe. This event has been a significant step forward for us in validating the commercial worth of our technology to this industry."
