Pincroft and Carrington debut world-first inherent FR blends at Techtextil
Adlington – UK – April 2026 – Carrington Textiles and Pincroft have announced a co-branded exhibition stand at the upcoming Techtextil show in Frankfurt, taking place from 21 to 24 April.
Located in Hall 9, Stand F03, the joint showcase will unite fabric development, dyeing, printing, and advanced flame retardant finishing under one roof.
The two forward-thinking companies are bringing together textile manufacturing and specialist finishing expertise in a single integrated offering to address the urgent industry need for sustainable, high-performance protective wear.
The primary focus of the exhibition is the highly anticipated unveiling of an entirely new generation of inherent flame retardant fabrics, shaping the future of workwear for 2026.
As the industry faces increasing pressure to deliver both uncompromising performance and ethical manufacturing, these fabrics represent a genuine step change in inherent flame retardant development.
Engineered meticulously from the fibre stage, the new textile solutions are designed to deliver exceptional durability, enhanced wearer comfort, and long-term protective performance.
Each construction has been created to answer the evolving engineering demands of modern garments while maintaining permanent flame retardant integrity throughout the full life cycle of the product.
This approach not only ensures maximum protection for workers but also supports sustainable practices by extending garment longevity and reducing textile waste.
Alongside these industry-first fabric launches, Pincroft will demonstrate its profound depth as a specialist commission dyer, printer, and finisher.
The company maintains a strong emphasis on flame retardant finishing technologies and ethical processing.
By managing artwork development, digital file preparation, and rotary screen engraving internally, Pincroft oversees the full process from concept to final fabric.
