What are the categories of flame retardant fabrics? Is it true that flame retardant fabrics can’t be lit?

Fire-retardant fabric is a functional fabric with high strength, tear resistance, wear resistance and excellent high temperature and fire resistance. The fabric is widely used in the special protection of personnel in fire protection, military, metallurgy, aerospace, aviation and other fields. Serve.

Fire-proof fabric is not a fabric that cannot burn, but a fabric that is quickly extinguished when encountering an open flame to prevent the spread of the fire. It will not melt and produce low objects when burning. When encountering high temperature of flame, the fabric rapidly expands and thickens, forming Special effects such as extraordinary heat insulation barriers, thus providing safety protection for workers wearing fire protective clothing.

There are many categories of fire-retardant fabrics. It is necessary to choose appropriate fire-retardant fabrics according to different working environments and protection levels to provide workers with all-round protection.

The fire-resistant fabrics produced by Science and Technology comply with the requirements of “GB8965.1-2009”, “EN11611 (EN470)”, “EN11612”, “NFPA2112”, “CFR1616/1615”, “JISL1091”, and “ENISO14116”. Detailed description below The classification and characteristics of fire-retardant fabrics provide customers with a better reference for selecting fire-retardant fabrics.

l NomexIIIA fabric

NomexIIIA fabric is made of a new generation of high-tech fiber Nomex1313/Nomex1414/conductive fiber blended with chemical fiber fabric in a ratio of 93%/5%/2%. It has high strength, tear resistance, wear resistance, and excellent high temperature resistance and fire retardant properties. . This fabric is widely used in special protective clothing for personnel in firefighting, military, metallurgy, aerospace, aviation and other fields.
Functions: ① It has permanent flame retardant effect, is resistant to high temperatures, and will not melt, burn or drop; when exposed to high flame temperatures, the fabric rapidly expands and thickens, forming a unique heat insulation barrier; ② Acid and alkali resistant, corrosion resistant, high strength , friction-resistant, long service life (6 times that of ordinary fire-proof cotton); ③ Adding P140 carbon fiber, which has antistatic effect; ④ The color is bright and stable, with high dyeing fastness and will not fade due to washing, friction and other conditions; ⑤ The dimensions are stable and will not be deformed by washing; ⑥Good breathability, light weight and good comfort, complying with EN531, EN533, EN469, NFPA 70E, GB8965-2009 and other standards
The main specifications are 4.5 oz, 5.5 oz, 6.0 oz, 6.5oz, 7.0 oz, 7.5oz, etc. We can also use liquid dyed fibers or dyeing methods to produce other Nomex blended chemical fiber fabrics or fabrics of various specifications according to customer needs. For example: 70/28/2Nomex1313/Nomex1414/conductive fiber fabric, 95/5Nomex1313/Nomex1414 fabric, etc.

l Permanent fire-resistant fiber fabric

Permanent fireproof fabric is made of permanent fireproof fiber, including fireproof viscose, fireproof polyester and acrylic fiber, which has permanent fireproof effect. The fire-retardant effect is not affected by washing, and the hand feel is soft and comfortable. Fabrics of various specifications can also be produced according to customer needs.
Main specifications:
​JLZYJ Fireproof Polyester 24×24 70×60 58/59″
​JLZYJ Cotton/Acrylonitrile 20×16 128×60 58/59″

l
Durable fire-resistant finishing fabric

Durable fireproof series products are made of pure cotton fabrics after fireproofing. They have good fireproof performance. They will only char when exposed to fire and will not spread. Self-extinguishing when removed from fire. Widely used in petroleum, chemical, military, fire protection, coal mining and other industries to make fire-proof protective clothing. It can also be used for fire-proof decorative cloth in hotels, restaurants, opera halls and theaters. Oxygen index ≥ 30, damage length ≤ 150 mm, cloudy Burning time ≤ 5s. Afterburning time ≤ 5s, resistant to washing 12 times, in line with GB8965.1-2009 “Fire Resistant Protective Clothing” requirements.

l
Non-durable fire-retardant finishing fabric

The fabric is made of pure cotton, polyester-cotton or polyester fabric with fire-proof finishing The fireproof performance complies with the B1 requirements of GB17591-2006 “Fireproof Woven Fabrics”. The fireproof performance is good, but it is not resistant to washing. Various specifications of fabrics can also be produced according to customer needs.
