“Rivercyclon 450 FR” is engineered with sustainability at its core. Unlike traditional PVC-coated fabrics, it is constructed entirely from polypropylene – including a PP 1100Dtex base fabric and a dual-sided modified polypropylene coating. This mono-material composition allows for full recyclability and offers a carbon footprint up to 40% lower than conventional PVC fabrics.

Despite its sustainable design, the technical textile delivers uncompromising performance. It is remarkably lightweight, which further reduces material use and transport emissions – making it ideal for applications where sustainability and strength must go hand in hand.

Certified to the highest global fire safety standards

“Rivercyclon 450 FR” is the first polypropylene-based fabric to meet a comprehensive set of international fire safety certifications, including:

• CPAI 84, NFPA 701-1 (USA)

• BS 7837 (UK)

• DIN 4102-1 B1 (Germany)

• NFP 92-507 M1 (France)

• EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0 (EU)

• AS/NZS 1530 (Australia/New Zealand)

• UNI 9177 Classe 2 (Italy)

Ideal for a wide range of uses

The new technical textile is designed for sectors actively moving away from PVC, including: tents and temporary structures, partitions and banners, event and exhibition setups, industrial shelters and architectural installations.

“As industries worldwide face mounting pressure to reduce their environmental footprint, Rivercyclon 450 FR is a quick and easy solution to dramatically bring down the carbon footprint by replacing harmful PVC,” said Boris Gaasbeek, Marketing Manager at Rivertex. “It combines exceptional fire resistance with true recyclability – without compromising on strength or performance.”
