Fire Retardant Fabrics
Fire-retardant fabrics are textiles that are more Fire safety, resistant to fire than others through chemical treatment of Flame retardant, flame-retardant or manufactured fireproof fibers. Properties The term ''fire-retardant'' as applied to Organic compound, organic (i.e., containing carbon) materials, is intended to refer to ''reduced'' fire hazard, as all will burn under certain circumstances. The tests used specified in building codes, such as NFPA 701, are more correctly ''flame resistance'' tests, which test a fabric's ability to resist ignition with the flame size and duration in the test conditions. The result is a comparative test, which provides a measure of the material's resistance to propagating combustion caused by small scale ignition sources. These tests do not predict the burning characteristics of full scale hazards. In many cases, if exposed to a sufficiently large and sustained exposure fire, the fire-retardant fabrics will burn vigorously. Polyester is inher ...
