Flame-retardant fabric is a special fabric that can prevent fire. Its materials mainly include the following categories.
1. Finished flame-retardant fabric
This type of fabric is given flame-retardant properties through chemical treatment. Common materials include pure cotton and polyester cotton. These fabrics have added flame-retardant functions while maintaining the original comfort.
2. Intrinsic flame-retardant fabric
This type of fabric is made of fibers with natural flame-retardant properties, mainly including aramid, acrylic cotton, DuPont Kevlar, Nomex and Australian PR97. These fibers themselves have high temperature resistance and flame-retardant properties, so the flame-retardant effect of the fabrics made is more durable.
3. Other flame-retardant materials
Also includes silicone rubber coated glass fiber cloth, basalt fiber fireproof cloth, blue glass fiber fireproof cloth and aluminum foil fireproof cloth, etc. These materials are mostly used for protection in special industries and types of work.
Flame-retardant fabrics are widely used in environments with flammable and explosive substances or open flame operations. Their flame-retardant properties vary depending on the material and treatment method.
