COTTON
Ignition point around 200℃
It ignites just near the flame and burns quickly. It emits a paper smell. After burning, there is very little powder ashes, which is black or gray.
As we all know, special industries such as fire protection and electric welding have special fire-resistant clothing. The fabrics have been flame-retardant.
Clothing with a certain flame-retardant effect and higher textile density, which will give people more safety protection.
Like most chemical fiber fabrics such as nylon, polyester, and acrylic, once it burns, it will shrink and melt, and the viscous melt will It is attached to the skin, and even drips of hot melt droplets, deepening and aggravating skin burns;
Natural fabrics such as cotton are all organic materials, and the burning part will be quickly charred after a fire, without melting;
In addition to the type of fabric, the weight and weave of the fabric are also one of the factors that affect the combustion. For example, denim is a kind of cotton, but because of its high density and wear resistance, it is less likely to catch fire.
Once a fire occurs, it can significantly delay the spread of the flame and reduce the damage to the human body. However, when consumers buy clothes, they often pay attention to the softness and air permeability of the fabric.
Few consumers pay attention to the burning performance of the fabric.
In fact, whether natural fabrics or chemical fiber fabrics, most of the fabrics may be burned, and the level of ignition point affects the burning speed.
In life, once a person’s clothing encounters a flame, even if the burning speed of the fabric is delayed by one second, it can buy people more time to extinguish the flame or take off the burning clothing, reducing and avoiding more serious problems.
We specialize in the production of various flame retardant fabrics and flame retardant tooling.
