Marlen Textiles introduces Broadway

Laurie Moers

Marlen Textiles is announcing the introduction of BROADWAY, a 10 ounce solution dyed, flame retardant fabric. This new product brings to Marlen Textiles customers a new alternative for applications requiring tight flame-retardant certification.

BROADWAY has unrivaled tear strength, abrasion resistance, and water resistance compared to other solution-dyed fabrics with FR specification. In addition, Broadway passes both the initial and leeching portion of the most stringent flame-retardant specifications, including California State Fire Marshall, NFPA 701, CPAI 84, and CAN/ULC.

"The market has been asking for a solution dyed flame retardant fabric that would not fail in the field," stated Jonathan Chakales, National Sales Executive of Marlen Textiles. "Now they have a choice for a fabric that will retain flame certification, strength, water resistance, and color fastness, even after exposure to the elements."

BROADWAY is available in 12 colors. Some colors are in stock now with the rest available by mid-March.

Marlen Textiles manufactures several proprietary coated, solution-dyed, and laminated fabrics, sold through an international network of wholesale distributors serving the marine, awning, tent, outdoor furniture, and safety application industries. They are the producer of Top Gun, Mustang, Top Notch, Top Notch Elite, Odyssey, Vista, Heritage, Softouch, Holiday, and AQUATITE-GREEN.
