Flame retardant fabrics classification and standards

At present, the main flame retardant fabrics are: finishing flame retardant fabrics, such as cotton, polyester-cotton, etc.; essential flame retardant fabrics, such as aramid, nitrile cotton, DuPont Kevlar, Nomex, Australia PR97, etc.

Flame retardant fabrics are divided into two kinds of fiber flame retardant and finishing flame retardant, and finishing flame retardant is divided into one-time flame retardant and durable flame retardant.

Fiber flame retardant, also called permanent flame retardant fabric, is mainly made of flame retardant fiber weaving, its flame retardant effect is permanent, generally can be maintained to more than 50 times of washing, still have a good flame retardant effect.

Durable flame retardant fabric usually adopts "PROBAN" production process, and the flame retardant used is a durable finishing flame retardant for cotton fiber and its blended fabrics.

Disposable flame retardant fabrics are ordinary fabrics treated with flame retardants in the later dyeing and finishing, and their major drawback is that the flame retardant effect disappears or declines significantly after washing, so they are usually used in some occasions where the number of washing is small, such as hotel curtains, etc.

The initial flame retardant performance of the three is not much different, but the flame retardant performance of the disposable flame retardant fabric disappears completely after washing.

The flame retardant fabrics produced by Kunshan Yingjie Textile Import & Export Co., Ltd. include cotton, polyester-cotton, chemical fiber and other materials, which have good flame retardant effect, and the fire source will be curled and carbonized, and the fire source will be extinguished once it leaves, without melting drops or black smoke, and will not produce secondary fires. Environmental protection, non-toxic, odorless, moisture permeable, breathable, soft to the touch, widely used in military, fire fighting, smelting, petrochemical and other industries.
