Ellen, deputy editor-in-chief of the American “Nonwoven Industry”
Wuagneux recently made a brief analysis of flame retardant technology. He believes that the flame retardant material marketing industry is currently booming, but raw material suppliers are not synchronized; new regulations at the state and federal levels in the United States and the rise of modern technology have unprecedentedly raised new requirements and challenges for this industry. .
Overview of flame retardant fabrics
According to market analysis, the development momentum of flame retardant (FR) technology in North America, Central America and Europe is particularly good. John, Technical Marketing Manager, Apexical Limited (formerly Apex Chemical Manufacturing), Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA
Phifer said this situation indicates that the market will continue to evolve and require innovation; in particular, there is greater interest in technologies that can pass California/Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) bedding standards and non-halogen flame retardant treatments.
California in the United States is a popular area for this activity, and other states often follow suit. According to Bob, CEO of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Basofil Fibers
Mckinnon said California is a clear leader in this regard. Some laws and regulations were completed and adopted in 2005, such as Federal Standard 16 CFR
Part 1633, etc.; are looking forward to more actions on flame retardancy. By the end of 2006, most major bedding manufacturers wanted to produce and sell such products.
Through the efforts of the CPSC and the state of California, we will be the first to publish some flame retardant standards. These standards are not only related to bedding, but also involve home decoration and bedding fabrics. Paul, marketing manager for Ciba’s plastic additives business, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Shields predicts that, depending on the content of the standard, the use of flame retardant or barrier fabrics will be favored and that frugal flame retardant products with the necessary FR performance will be cost-effective.
The key is still cost. Although the development prospects of flame retardant material production are good, cost is still the main concern, especially when the prices of raw materials and energy are still soaring. Basofil fiber, one of its main strategies to reduce costs is to reduce the content of high-performance fibers and produce more goods, which has caused great changes in costs over the past few years.

22 is flame retardant, but has poor UV resistance, or has good UV resistance but no flame retardancy; this situation will no longer exist, and products that have the best of both worlds can now be produced; and are under development New halogen or non-halogen products can provide better flame retardant properties, and process meltable products are also produced.
RISTAR uses PROBAN process flame retardant fabrics and flame retardant cloth. Its main feature is the use of this flame retardant and its production After finishing the process, permanent cross-linking is formed inside the fabric, which makes it have durable flame retardant properties and can be washed more than 50 times. On this basis, I added oil-proof and waterproof functions to make the flame-retardant fabric With oil-proof and waterproof properties, flame-retardant fabrics can effectively prevent the spread of flames while maintaining the original properties of the fabric.
Ems-Griltech in Sumter, South Carolina, USA, produces Griltex brand flame retardant copolymer hot melt adhesives in granular or powder form. This type of adhesive can be applied to woven or non-woven fabrics as fireproof materials. It is currently used in home or office furniture and decorative materials, such as carpets and curtains, as well as various protective clothing; it can also be supplied as an ingredient mother liquor.
So far, the flammability of individual components in composite materials has been analyzed only, without considering the flammability of the entire composite material. Recently, the flammability of the entire composite material has even been tested to extend to a house, such as the entire composite material. A train carriage. There are even specific regulations that require the use of flame retardants for hot melt adhesives, mainly such as building structures, vehicles, electronic products, and furniture decoration materials. Ems-Griltech flame retardant hot melt additives show improvements in this area.
Development prospects of flame retardant fabrics
Suppliers emphasize that quality and safety are the first priority, and should be more important than cost considerations. Newer, safer and more scientific will prevail. McKinnon said it’s important for industrial producers to keep consumer health and safety in mind.
There is also a desire to move away from the use of halogen materials, in part due to growing social pressure on polymer additives such as plasticizers, stabilizers and halogen flame retardants. Previously, halogen flame retardants were common flame retardants for thermoplastic polymers and were often used in combination with antimony trioxide materials. Ems-Griltech’s Hesselbart believes that when halogen-containing products burn, they can produce high concentrations of toxic and corrosive gases and complicate the recycling of final products; she concluded that Ems-Griltech’s flame-retardant copolyester materials can be improved Fire retardant properties eliminate the need to use halogen- and heavy-metal-containing flame retardants.
