In daily life, many household items and clothing require certain fire resistance, which requires the use of flame-retardant fabrics for production. Flame retardant fabric refers to a special type of fabric that can slow down, delay, or prevent further combustion after being burned by fire or sparks.

What does flame-retardant fabric rely on for flame retardancy

The flame retardant principle of flame-retardant fabrics is mostly achieved by adding flame retardants. Flame retardants release a large amount of solid, gas, or liquid substances during combustion, including heat absorbing agents, stabilizers, fire extinguishing agents, etc. These substances can react chemically with the substances in the flame, slow down the combustion rate of the substances, and achieve the effect of flame retardancy.

In addition to adding flame retardants, the fiber structure and fiber materials of flame retardant fabrics are also important factors affecting flame retardant performance. For example, high temperature resistant fibers such as polyamide fibers and aromatic polyimide fibers have good flame retardancy.

What is the difference between Q1 flame-retardant fabric and fireproof fabric

Although both flame-retardant and fire-resistant fabrics have fire-resistant functions, their principles and application scenarios are different. Fireproof fabric generally refers to materials that have undergone special treatment and will not burn when exposed to flames, while flame-retardant fabric is a special type of fabric that can slow down, delay, or prevent further combustion after being burned by a fire or spark.

How to Test the Flame retardancy of Flame retardant Fabrics in Q2

The commonly used flame retardant fabric testing methods in the current market are mainly divided into three categories: direct method, indirect method, and micro burner method. The direct method is to determine the flame retardancy of the fabric by conducting direct or vertical ignition tests on the fabric; The indirect rule is to detect the flame retardancy of fabrics through the heat transfer mechanism of heat flux; The micro burner principle is to evaluate the flame retardancy of fabrics by testing them on a micro burner.

Q3 flame-retardant fabric can be used in which fields

Flame retardant fabrics can be applied in many fields, such as protective clothing, home textiles, automotive interiors, high-speed train seats, and aircraft seats. Flame retardant fabrics can not only provide safety assurance for people's lives, but also effectively reduce the occurrence of fire accidents, truly putting prevention first and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property.
