Wednesday 20. May 2020 - The Australian Wool Testing Authority Ltd. (AWTA Product Testing) has awarded two non-woven wallpapers from Sihl its Flame Retardance Certificate after extensive testing. This means that the products are now tested not only in accordance with European standards but also with Australian and New Zealand standards.

Non-woven design2wall FR 210 (2517) and prepasted non-woven design2wall FR 230 (2515) are high-quality non-woven wallpapers for printing with solvent, latex and UV inks and are characterized by high color brilliance and dimensional stability. The scratch-resistant, hard-wearing surface enables long-term use in stressed areas. In addition, both wallpapers are PVC-free, FSC certified and environmentally friendly.
Thanks to the water-activated paste on the back, the printed wallpaper Prepasted non-woven design2wall FR 230 (2515) can be glued to the wall directly after soaking in water. The pre-dosed paste adheres to a large number of surfaces over a long period of time, but can still be easily removed.
Both products are already certified as flame-retardant according to the European standard EN 13501-1. Now AWTA Product Testing has also tested both products for heat and smoke release according to the methods ISO 5660.1-2015 and AS / NZS 3837-1998. Both non-woven wallpapers were able to meet the requirements and are now also certified as flame-retardant according to Australian and New Zealand standards.
