Flame Retardant Fabric & Fabric Flame Retardant

Some people in the market understand flame-retardant fabrics as non-burning fabrics, which is not accurate. Flame-retardant fabrics sometimes catch fire, but they can be extinguished within a specified time after leaving the flame. There are corresponding flame retardant standards, such as: GB 8624 "Classification Method for Combustion Performance of Building Materials", GB 20286 "Requirements and Marking of Combustion Performance of Flame Retardant Products and Components in Public Places", GB 50222 "Code for Fire Protection Design of Building Interior Decoration", GBT 5454 "Oxygen Index Method for Textile Combustion Behavior Test", GBT 5455 "Vertical Method for Textile Combustion Behavior Test", GA 504 "Flame Retardant Decorative Fabrics", etc.

There are two main ways to achieve flame retardant functionality in textiles:

One is to add a flame retardant with flame retardant function to the fiber through polymer polymerization, blending, copolymerization, composite spinning, grafting modification, etc., to make the fiber flame retardant.

 The second is to use the post-finishing method to coat the flame retardant on the surface of the fabric or penetrate into the interior of the fabric.

 These two ways of imparting flame retardancy to fabrics are different, and the effects produced are also different. Generally speaking, fiber flame retardancy can make full use of flame retardants than fabric flame retardancy, and its effect is longer and softer. However, in practical applications, a variety of flame retardants are often used to achieve the flame retardant effect in two or more ways.

Flame-retardant fabrics have a wide range of applications: flame-retardant clothing, flame-retardant curtains, curtains, soft wall coverings, flame-retardant medical curtains, etc. In fact, in public places, especially hotels and guesthouses, many fires spread. One of the main reasons is that the curtains are not flame-retardant fabrics. During the flashover, the air stimulates the combustion and blows open the windows next door, and then ignites the curtains next door, thereby causing the fire to spread.

The fabric flame retardants on the market are more diverse, commonly used are phosphorus flame retardants, nitrogen flame retardants, hydroxide flame retardants, water-based flame retardants, ammonium salts, metal salts, boric acid and its compounds wait.

  Novista supplies a variety of environmentally friendly flame retardants (ammonium polyphosphate) used in fabrics. The flame retardant effect is achieved by back coating. It has good water resistance, soft touch, and excellent fire resistance, meeting strict flame retardant standards.
