Why use flame retardant cloth? Why can flame retardant cloth be fireproof?
What is flame retardant cloth?
Flame retardant cloth refers to a cloth that can automatically extinguish within 2 seconds of leaving the open flame even if it is ignited by an open flame. According to the order of adding flame retardant materials, it can be divided into two types: fiber permanent flame retardant cloth and finishing flame retardant cloth.
The practical approach to flame retardant cloth
Due to the cost of fiber flame retardant and post-finishing flame retardant, currently more post-finishing flame retardants are used in China.
There are two main ways for textiles to achieve flame retardant functionality:
First, the flame retardant with flame retardant function is added to the fiber through polymer polymerization, blending, copolymerization, composite spinning, grafting modification, etc., to make the fiber flame retardant.
Second, the flame retardant is coated on the surface of the fabric or penetrated into the fabric using post-finishing methods. These two methods have different steps in giving fabrics flame retardancy, and the effects they produce are also different. At present, the best way is to modify textiles with nanomaterials and nanotechnology, which is low-cost and has lasting effects. The softness and feel of the textiles have not changed at all, reaching the world’s first-class level.
Generally speaking, fiber flame retardant can make full use of flame retardants than fabric flame retardant, and its effect is more durable and softer to the touch. However, in practical applications, multiple flame retardants are often used to achieve flame retardant effects in two or more ways.
Application of flame retardant curtains
Curtains made of cloth treated with nanomaterials and nanotechnology are flame retardant and also have the following characteristics:
1. On the basis of the basic functions of existing curtains, the functions of flame retardant, heat insulation, heat preservation, sound absorption, sound insulation, antibacterial, mildew proof, waterproof, oil proof, antifouling, dustproof, and antistatic are added and enhanced;
2. The width of curtain fabrics ranges from 1.5 meters to 3.1 meters, which can meet the height and width needs of various types of windows;
3. Safe and odorless, green and environmentally friendly, energy-saving and low-carbon, no washing, no maintenance, always clean, water and electricity saving, worry and trouble-free.
Flame-retardant Oxford cloth automatically extinguishes immediately after the fire source is removed, and the burning part is quickly carbonized without melting or dripping. It can effectively prevent the burning and spread of flames, and reduce or avoid burns. Flame-retardant Oxford cloth has good durable washing performance, non-toxic and odorless, safe and reliable, breathable and moisture-permeable.
Flame-retardant Oxford cloth is a high-temperature inorganic fiber material with stable chemical properties, fire resistance, heat resistance, high temperature resistance, softness, resistance to various chemical corrosion, good chemical stability, environmental protection, mildew resistance and other properties.
Flame-retardant Oxford fabrics are used in special industries such as protective clothing, automobile interiors, sanitation workers’ clothing, fire-fighting equipment, chemical industry, machinery, etc., and are also used in aviation, chemical industry, building materials, fire protection and other fields.
