What are flame retardant fabrics? How are flame retardant fabrics made?

Flame-retardant fabrics can also burn. They will extinguish themselves after isolating the fire source. Currently, flame-retardant fabrics can be divided into two categories. The first and more common category is to make the fabrics resistant after post-processing. The other is the flame retardant function of the fabric itself, such as acrylic cotton, aramid and other materials. Today I will introduce to you the relevant content of flame retardant fabrics.

Aramid flame retardant fabric:
Aramid has the characteristics of long-lasting flame retardancy, in addition to excellent wear resistance, the fabric is soft and has With good chemical stability, aramid fabrics are non-toxic and can be used at high temperatures. The fabrics have good acid and alkali resistance and generally only begin to decompose above 400 degrees, so they can be used in the production and processing of protective clothing.

Cotton flame-retardant fabric:
It uses 100% cotton fabric as the base material and then undergoes flame-retardant processing to make the fabric have flame-retardant properties. PROBAN and PYROAVTEX are often used. Flame retardant technology will not damage the characteristics of the cotton fiber itself after processing.

CVC flame-retardant fabric:
This kind of flame-retardant fabric is also made through post-processing, using CVC fabric (cotton-polyester blended fabric, and the cotton content is greater than or equal to polyester) as the base material , made through PROBAN flame retardant technology. This kind of fabric is widely used in firefighting suits, protective clothing and other products.

Ny cotton flame retardant fabric:
This kind of fabric is also called C/N. The fabric has excellent wear resistance and flame retardancy. The formaldehyde content complies with environmental protection indicators. It feels soft and has a Excellent color fastness and thermal protection are better than the above ones.

The above are relatively common flame-retardant fabrics. Of course, there are also ecological flame-retardant fabrics and multi-functional flame-retardant fabrics that I will not introduce. Flame-retardant fabrics are mainly used in chemical industry, fire protection and other fields. The clothes we usually wear generally do not use flame retardant fabrics.
