What type of material is this:

”290 g/m2 30% PPAN, 30% CV, 40% PVA, breathable, rainproof, mildew resistant and inherently fire retardant”

I have seen this material and feels like a great material for a hot tent or a tarp. Cannot find any info with google.

isn’t that the fire retardant that’s ineffective and cancer causing?
