Introduced within the context of the FR Total Care project, these continuous filament yarns feature intrinsic flame-retardant properties and are ideal for applications in the indoor and outdoor textile and contract sectors. Radyarn® and Starlight® FR are available in solution-dyed, antibacterial and/or UV-stabilized versions and endow fabrics with important functionalities: high performance, safety, softness, breathability and colourfastness, as well as the highest quality.

FR Total Care is an important project involving the collaboration of several companies in the synthetic fibres industry – including RadiciGroup’s Noyfil SA and Noyfil SpA –, which teamed up and pooled their know-how with a very clear objective: to offer the best flame retardant solutions on the market, a complete line of FR products and services combining high performance, functionality, safety, customization, cost efficiency and sustainability. Furthermore, FR Total Care stands for technical expertise and innovation; specialized advice on fabric construction, design, production and finishing; support in testing and approvals; and marketing consulting.

Radyarn® and Starlight® UV Stabilized are top-of-the-range specialities sold by RadiciGroup, a leading European manufacturer of continuous polyester filament with two production sites in Italy ( Noyfil SpA) and one in Switzerland (Noyfil SA). These high-performance filaments have anti-UV properties that make them the ideal solution for the manufacture of fabrics for applications in the awnings, outdoor furnishings and marine sectors.

Radyarn® and Starlight® UV Stabilized PET yarns give fabrics colour stability and fastness to sunlight, residual resistance after solar exposure comparable to that of traditional acrylic products, and greater dimensional stability than acrylic yarn. Indeed, Radyarn® UV Stabilized yarn prevents unsightly creasing, waviness, and deformation over the entire fabric surface and along the seams. Know-how, vertical integration and total production control from spinning to downstream processing are the strengths that allow RadiciGroup to tailor its products to meet its customers’ needs in an efficient way. Vertically integrated production is the key to customizing polyester yarn in terms of colour, formulation and functionality, so as to meet the customer’s aesthetic and performance specifications simultaneously. UV Stabilized yarn can be manufactured not only from standard polyester but also from PET Flame Retardant and recycled polyester, which makes it possible to offer multifunctional products – a feature that is very much appreciated by the target markets of RadiciGroup polyester yarns. Radyarn® UV Stabilized is also available in yarn-dyed versions for traditional and customized applications.
