How to Properly Understand Flame Retardant?

Flame retardant, is not to say that won't burn, but that it will stop in the process of combustion flame continues to spread. Flame retardant fabric isn't on fire. Flame retardant fabric is a flame retardant finishing of fabrics, have prevent flame continues to spread, or contact with the flame region withered, when after you remove flame can not continue the performance of combustion. There are corresponding to the international standard to the flame retardant properties of flame retardant fabric flame retardant and other performance test standards of fabric, such as EN11611, EN11612, NFPA2112, etc.

Flame retardant fabric combustion of carbon length, smoldering, is what mean?

1. Continues burning: in laboratory conditions, when the flame after remove the fabric, flame combustion.

2. Continue burning time: in laboratory conditions, when the flame away fabrics, after time with flame combustion. (Also called flaming period)

3. Smoldering: in laboratory conditions, when or after termination of flaming fire left, continuous flameless combustion of fabrics.

4. Smoldering time: in laboratory conditions, when or after termination of flaming fire left, fabrics of flameless combustion duration.

5. Carbon: long after burns out completely, the length of the fabrics of carbonation. American standard is ≦ 10 cm, British standard is ≦ 15 cm.
