What is Flame retardant fabric
What is flame retardant fabric? As the name implies, it is a fabric that can be fireproof.
The main flame retardant fabrics are: post-finishing flame retardant fabrics, such as pure cotton, polyester cotton, etc.; essential flame retardant fabrics, such as aramid, acrylic cotton, DuPont Kevlar, Nomex, Australia PR97 and so on.
Industry standards:
GB8965-98 China National Standard for Flame retardant clothing.
In 1998, the National Bureau of Standards of China issued the industrial flame retardant clothing standard with reference to the 1988 standard of the same name and similar international standards, and made detailed provisions on the following aspects: the overall performance of flame retardant clothing, the flame retardancy of clothing materials and seams, and the mechanical properties of clothes. clothing structure design, processing, finished product marking and packaging transportation, inspection methods, etc.
GA10-91 performance requirements and test methods of general protective clothing for Chinese firefighters.
The standards for general protective clothing for firefighters issued by the Ministry of Public Security of China include: the overall performance of flame retardant clothing, the flame retardancy of seams and materials, the mechanical properties of clothing, the structural design, processing and production of finished products, marking, packaging and transportation, inspection methods, etc.
EN531: EU Standard for Industrial Thermal Protective clothing.
The overall performance, structural design, dimensional stability, flame spread, heat resistance and melting metal properties, size marks and shipping marks, user information, identification patterns and other contents of flame retardant clothing are specified.

Specify the design requirements, material requirements, safety requirements, size marks and shipping marks, user information, identification patterns, etc.
EN479 EU Fire Protective clothing Standard.
This standard stipulates the standard of structural fire protection clothing, which mainly considers the protection of heat and flame. This standard does not include special tasks or special fire protection, such as removal of spilled chemicals, forest fire, close fire fighting, road accident rescue, etc. The standards include general requirements, important safety requirements, additional requirements, shipping marks, user information and identification patterns.
NFPA 2112: standard for flash flame retardant clothing of the American Fire Protection Association.
The American Fire Protection Association stipulates industrial flash (industrial flash fire) flame retardant protective clothing in the following areas: product marking, user information, clothing design, fiber, sewing, accessories, and signage.
NFPA 1971 2000 version of the American Fire Protection Association Fire Service Standard.
This standard specifies the minimum dress requirements for structural fire firefighters, including clothing design, performance, testing, and testing of clothing components and accessories (tops, trousers, helmets, gloves, shoes and boots). This edition integrates the contents of the original NFPA1971, 1973, and 1974, and can all replace the latter.

The standard specifies the design requirements, sampling and pretreatment, mechanical performance requirements, thermal performance requirements, efficiency and comfort requirements, general requirements, manufacturer information and shipping marks for field and forest firefighters.
AS4967-2002 Australian (transitional version) standard for fire protection clothing.
The standard specifies the design requirements, proofing and pretreatment, thermal performance requirements, mechanical performance requirements, efficiency and comfort requirements, general requirements, manufacturer information and shipping marks for firefighters used in structural fires.
Classification of flame retardant fabrics:
According to the standard of washing resistance, flame retardant fabrics can be divided into:
1. Permanent flame retardant fabric (flame retardant fiber fabric: using flame retardant fiber weaving, no matter how many times it is launched, its flame retardant effect will never change. In particular, the flame retardant yarn used is polypropylene (Polyacrylic, commonly known as acrylic), which is rolled up and carbonized in case of fire, and goes out as soon as the source of fire leaves, so there is no black smoke without droplets, and there will be no secondary fire.

two。. Washable (more than 50 times) flame retardant fabric.
3. Semi-washable flame retardant fabric.
4. Disposable flame retardant fabric.
According to the content of components, flame retardant fabrics can be divided into:
1. Aramid flame retardant fabric.
two。. Ecological flame retardant fabric.
3. Cotton flame retardant fabric.
4.CVC flame retardant fabric.
5. Nylon cotton flame retardant fabric.
6. Multi-functional flame retardant fabric.
7. Antistatic fabric.
8. Acid-and alkali-proof fabric.
9. Oil-resistant fabric.
Standard for flame retardant fabrics.
Flame retardant fabrics need professional testing institutions to do special testing for fabrics, in SGS,ITS, the National Labor Insurance Center and other testing institutions for flame retardant fabrics can do EN11611,EN11612,EN14116,NFPA2112,ASTM1506,GB8965-2009B and other testing!
