What is the difference between inherent FR and treated Flame Retardant?

Generally inherent Fr workwear is the preference, the main difference between the 2 fabrics is that inherent flame-resistant fabric is made from fibers that are naturally flame resistant such as modacrylic, aramid or FR viscose and hance are more durable and protection lasts longer hence more expensive than treated FR workwear. Treated FR garment is normally chemical treated with a chemical to make them flame resistant and generally this property diminished with wash and wear as the chemical erodes and washes away.
