Nylon ignites and burns quickly and can continue to burn after a flame is removed - exercise caution. Fiber may shrink from the flame, melt, and can drip (DANGER) leaving a hard plastic-like bead. The flame produced has a sparkle to it and an orange tip and blue base will be observed. The ash produced resembles tough amber beads.

Burning this fabric will produce white smoke. Nylon smells like vegetable or herbs when burnt but also can produce a celery-like smell. If ash is burned, smells like plastic.
