Can I dye flame retardant cotton fabric?
Flame retardant material means that the fabric is resistant to catching fire. Yes, you can dye flame retardant cotton fabric.
What is the difference of disposable washable and permanent flame retardant fabric?
The flame retardant fabric can be divided in to disposable, washable and permanent flame resistant fabric.Disposable flame retardant fabric and washable flame resistant fabric are added some chemical composition, the generated gases from burning fabric can separate the fire area from oxygen to extinguish the fire. The permanent flame retardant fabric itself has flame retardant property.Washable flame retardant fabric and permanent flame resistant fabric are mainly used for garment, and disposable flame retardant fabric usually used in decoration, curtains and cushions etc. The initial flame retardant property of these three fabric are not much difference, just the flame retardant property of washable flame resistant fabric would be reduced after 50-100 washing times, the disposable flame resistant fabric disappeared completely, and permanent flame resistant fabric.Raw material flame retardant fabric congenital flame retardant, do not need to add the day after tomorrow, expensive, and more for scientific research, military fields, are high-grade fabrics.
Which methods can be realized to make the fabric flame retardant?
There are the fiber flame retardant and the after finished flame retardant. Because the cost difference, the after finished flame retardant treatment is widely used in China. The two way to make the fabric flame retardant, 1. Add the fire retardant chemicals to the fiber by polymerization, blended, alloying, composite spinning, melt grafting to make the fiber flame retardant. 2. The coated flame retardant or padded the flame retardant chemicals to the fabric. This two way have two different flame retardancy. The best way is to make the modified treatment to the fabric by nano technology, which have low cost and permanent flame retardancy. And the fabric is also soft, which have get the world class standard. In general, the fiber flame retardant can take full advantage of the FR chemicals than the after finished FR fabric. It is more softer and have permanent flame retardant effects. But in the practive use, we usually use more than one chemicals or two kind of method at the same time to get the flame retardant effects. By YULONG textile
What fabric is least flammable?
Infant clothing is required to be flame retardant.
Which characteristics do the modacrylic flame retardant fabric have?
The modacrylic flame retardant fabric is made of the flame retardant modified acrylic fiber. The flame retardant performance of the fabric will not reduced after many times washing. The fabric can pass the EN11612(EN531),EN11611(EN470-1),EN533,16CFR,NFPA2112,ASTM standard test by the MTL, TUV, SGS. The characteristics are as bellow, 1. Good flame retardant performance 2. Arc proof 3. Anti acid 4. Anti metal filling splash 5. Anti welding spark 6. Anti-static 7. Visibility 8. Comfortable and washable 9. Wear-resisting property
What will be the different results by different test method of flame retardant fabric?
It is a complex procedure when testing the flame retardant property of the fabric, because there are many factors to effect the fabric burning. And the factors are related to each other. Even if one same fabric behave different, the test result will be a little difference. In general, the factors are: lighting fire form, time on fire, the position of the fabric and the fire, etc. Different test method have different test result. Until now, horizontal firing, 45℃ firing and the vertical firing are the most commonly used method. When balance the flame retardant property of the fabric, we should specify the test method and the condition and the horizontal firing is the most relaxed method.With the same finished process, test by the 45℃ firing, if the flame can not burn through the fabric immediately in the fabric and the fire will increase and spread to the around. The flame retardant property is bad. When test by vertical firing, if the fabric after burning can form the expansive carbon residue, which can be in favor of the flame spread up and get good flame retardant property.As the the 45℃ firing, we suggest to use the molten drop flame retardant chemicals, which is in favor of burning through in short time. As for vertical firing , we suggest to use the form carbon flame retardant chemicals, which is benefit for the fabric to form the non flame carbon floor in short time and get the flame retardant property.by yulong tex
What is Cotton Nylon flame retardant fabric?
It is cotton nylon fabric treated with chemicals so that it is less likely to burn.
What is the most flame retardent fabric?
The most flame retardant fabric is deemed to be wool, because it is harder to catch fire and the flames are quite often extinguished by the fiber. Synthetic acrylic, nylon and polyester are the next flame retardant fabrics because they can withstand higher temperatures than natural fabrics.
What type of fabric is used to make flame retardant clothing?
DuPont's Nomex is called an aromatic nylon.
What is the testing method of flame retardant textile?
Mainly from two points to evaluate the flammability of flame retardant fabric, the property of easy to ignite, the flammability of textile (the property of flame retardant). There are two standards to evaluate the flammability of flame retardant fabric: 1. The burning rate of textile. Flame retardant fabric contact with the fire in a certainly time follow to the standard, then move the fire, to measure afterflame time and afterglow time and the char length. The shorter time of after flame and afterglow, the lower of the char length, it shows that flame retardant property of fabric is better, on the other hand, the FR property is bad. 2. Oxygen index method (LOI ). Fabric burning need oxygen, LOI is expression of oxygen needed by fiber burning, so through measure LOI can judge the FR property of fabric, the higher of LOI, the higher of oxygen concentration for keeping the fiber burning, it means that the fabric is difficult to burn. The index can be expressed by the minimum volume percentage of oxygen , what needed by sample is keep burning in nitrogen and oxygen mixed gas, LOE=oxygen concentration / (oxygen concentration + nitrogen concentration)*100%, LOI <20%, is combustible fiber, LOI between 20 ~ 26%, is flammable fiber; LOI between 26 ~ 34%, is flame retardant fiber; Oxygen index above 35%, is non flame fiber.

What are the requirements of praban cotton flame retardant finishing process?
1.Determine the concentration of flame retardant were described In the process of making process. It should be determined according to the size of the pad fluid rate and thickness of the fabric.2.The size of the tide content The fabric after pad flame retardant drying,it is should have some of the humidity for the sake of ammonia and fabric flame retardant on the crosslinking reaction When the ammonia smoked,occur flame retardant effect and with the washing resistance.In the process of production should be monitoring the size of the tide content at any moment,and adjust,Contain too small tide will lead to inadequate crosslinking,flame retardant effect not washable,contains too much tide will lead to excess crosslinking,feel stiff,color will also have changed.3.Determine the amount of ammonia flow The amount of consumption of ammonia by per kilogram of flame retardants in theory is certain,But the actual production process should be excessive some,in order that crosslinking fully.Usually too small ammonia flow rate can lead to inadequate crosslinking,flame retardant effect of washing resistance is poor;Excess flow,cause to waste and ammonia spillover,result in poor working conditions.In practical application, also should adjust the ammonia flow according to the thickness of a fabric and the size of the flame retardant agent to achieve the best effect of flame retardant.4.The concentration of oxidant The flame retardant after ammonia smoked curing in order to make it more stable,usually adopts padding hydrogen peroxide to achieve,the amount of hydrogen peroxide should be according to the thickless of fabric, the number of the amount of flame retardants. The speed of padding oxidation liquid should not too fast,make sure have enough hydrogen peroxide on the fabric,after drafty oxidation than wash with neutral soap,oxidation time shoulds not be too long, Otherwise, it will reduce the fabric strength.
