It is cotton nylon fabric treated with chemicals so that it is less likely to burn.
Yes, PVC can be made flame retardant by adding specific chemicals during the manufacturing process.
The dyeing is a process to make the fabric lustrous according to the dye together with flame retardant fabric through chemical or physical chemistry way. Once the dyed flame retardant fabric colour fading, the fabric has been redyed if you want the fabric recover the original color. The flame retardant fabric dyeing process including surface adsorption, internal divergence and dye fixation.1, Surface adsorptionThe dye will be adsorbed the fiber surface when dipped the fiber to the dye liquor, this is the initial stage of the dyeing process. Good appetency and high concentration dye together with moderate electrolyte will increase the fiber adsorption speed, which will help to make the dyeing pricess correctly.2, Internal divergenceThe dye will be diffused to the fiber interior after the dye adsorbed to the fiber surface. This process is the longest stage in the whole dyeing process. In the dye liquor, the fiber surface dye spreads to the low concentration fiber interior, makes the dye added to the fiber surface continuous, until the fiber dye strength same as the dye strength in the dye solution. After transformation finished, the dye adsorption finished on the fiber surface. So, adsorption and diffusion are the inalienable and simultaneous process.3, Dye fixationThe dye adsorb, diffuse and permeate to the fiber surface and interior, and also fix on the fiber with all kinds of chain, the dye and fiber are diffrent, so as the fixation style, and because of the different fixation style, so as the dye fastness.By YULONG FR tex
When choosing flame retardant protective clothing, consider the specific hazards present in your workplace, the level of protection required, the material of the clothing (such as Nomex or flame-resistant treated cotton), and compliance with industry safety standards and regulations. It's also important to ensure a proper fit and comfort for the wearer to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Materials such as treated cotton, wool, aramid fibers, or modacrylic are commonly used in fire retardant clothing. These materials are designed to resist ignition and offer protection against flames and heat. It's important to look for clothing that meets industry standards for flame resistance.
Modern-day curtains are typically made from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, which are flammable. However, many curtains are treated with flame-retardant chemicals to reduce their flammability and improve safety. It's important to check the labels on curtains for flame retardant information and to take precautions to prevent curtains from coming into contact with open flames.
Flame retardant material means that the fabric is resistant to catching fire. Yes, you can dye flame retardant cotton fabric.
DuPont's Nomex is called an aromatic nylon.
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.
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.
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
FR fabric is a kind of fabric even it is lighted,it will be extingished by itself after moved from the fire within the prescribed period of time.It is widely used in garments .To judge the rate of burning of the fabric:the textile in accordance with the provisions of the method of contact with the flame for a certain period of time, remove the flame, the fabric burning and smoldering time and fabric damage length determine the fabric flame retardant performance. The shorter the time of burning and smoldering, the lower the damage length, the better the flame resistance of the fabric.There are mainly 2kinds of testing methods. 1,Horizontal burning2,Vertical burningEuropean standard : EN11611(EN470), EN11612(EN531), EN14116(EN533), etcAmerican standard:16CFR 1610There are mainly 2 kinds of FR fabric used for garments.1)inherently fire retardant fabric2)FR treated fabricinherently fire retardant fabricaramid fabricmodacrylic fabricmodacrylic /cotton fabric FR treated fabricFR 100% cotton fabricFR cotton/nylon (C/N ) fabricFR cotton/polyester fabric
Infant clothing is required to be flame retardant.
flame needs oxygen in order to keep on burning. fabric might cut that source of oxygen and the fire might go out, but there is a limit to how much flame a fabric can put out I think...
You can make babies and kids sleepwear flame retartdant on your own as it involves a complex chemical treatment that is done in factories under strict conditions. You either need to look of sleepwear that is already flame retardant or buy or make sleepwear out of 100% cotton. Organic or natural cotton is even better as there are no dyes or chemicals in the fabric.
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
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
Flame retardant yarn will not burn as fast as cotton yarn -- the benefit being that whomever is wearing the garment may be able to survive longer in a fire situation.
