FR textiles can be divided into non-flame fiber, flame retardant fiber, combustible fiber and burn easily fibers.
non-flame fiber( fire cannot lit)-- LOI value was over 35, glass fiber, metal fiber, asbestos fiber, carbon fiber:
flame retardant fiber(fire can lit it, but will be extinguished without fire) --LOI value was over 35, chloro fiber, aramid fiber, modacrylic fiber.:
combustible fiber(fire can lit it, continued fire without fire)-- LOI value was over 20, polyester, nylon, silk, wool;
burn easily fibers(burns rapidly, burns up without fire) -- LOI value was under 20, cotton, linen, viscose, acrylic, etc.
Limited oxygen index LOI: under the stated experimental conditions, the material can be maintained the combustion state needed the oxygen minimum concentration of oxygen-nitrogen mixture gas.
Testing method: placed a certain size sample on the sample holder, adjusting the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen, igniting the sample with a specific igniter, makes the sample self-extinguishing after burning the certain time(2 minutes), or certain damage length (40mm), under this condition, according to the oxygen /nitrogen flow to calculated the LOI.

What material is a natural Fire retardant ?
There are two main types of fire retardant material that are used in clothing. Those materials are nomex and cotton. These materials prevent the fire from spreading or melting, so once the material is burned up the fire dies.
What is the Chemical element found in sea water and used as a fire retardant?
sodium
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 is the difference between fire retardant cable and flame retardant cable?
Cables that provide circuit integrity at specified conditions, example 3 Hour are called Fire rated cables. Cables that restrict spreading of fire are fire retarded / flame retarded cables.
Does extinguisher contains gas or liquid compound?
A gas propellent dry solid but powdered fire retardant.
What are the method of FR treatment?
The number of fire disaster and death rate caused by textile is more than which are caused by other reasons, and caused heavy loss of life and property. So, All countries in the world make flame retardant technical regulations of textile, and rule some textiles must be flame retardant finishing. Flame retardant finishing has two methods, one is additional agent, mix flame retardant agent and fiber original fluid, or add flame retardant agent into polymeride then spinning, make the fiber flame retardant. Another is finished, it means that make flame retardant treatment on the fiber or textile. At present, foreign countries are all developing flame retardant textile, usually use for wearing, decorate and industrial. The wearing is main for work wear, sleepwear and shirt of children and adult. Decorate textile includes the textile for airplane, train, car, ship, hotel, high building and public place. Home textile as curtain, door curtain, folding screen, table cloth, mattress, bed sheet, carpet, wall covering, sofa covering etc.. Industrial textile like tent, toy etc., include cotton, viscose, woolen, polyester, nylon, mod-acrylic and blended textile. Flame retardant textile needs different flame retardant property, it has specified standard and test methods, also need meet different requirements of textile, when choosing flame retardant agent and flame retardant technology should be taken into account.

What does the term fire retardant mean?
The term fire retardant means that fire will not affect the item that it describes. For example, fire retardant blankets would not be affected by flames if a fire were to happen near the blanket.

What is the fire retardant on cigarettes made of exactly!?
The fire retardant is known as neoprene. This is a known, identified and registered flame retardant. It is said that one cigarette with the retardant is more deadly than 5 non-neoprene cartons of cigarettes smoked at once. It's better to just use nicorette gum.
Where can I find information on what a fire blanket is?
A fire blanket is used to extinguish small starting fires. It's made of fire retardant material such as fibreglass, kevlar or just wool treated with a fire retardant fluid. You place a fire blanket over a fire to smother it.
