So what are some of the applications where these types of labels are used?  Automotive and airplane seat-belt labels, children’s clothing and toys, and high-heat applications like tags for metal and wire processing are common. Dynic has several Cetus® products that meet fire-resistant or fire-retardant standards.  They can be found at [Fire Resistant Products](https://dynic-2.hs-sites.com/cetus-textile-fabrics#nonwoven).
