    This document discusses flame retardant finishes for textiles. It begins by explaining that textiles are highly flammable and contribute to the rapid spread of fires. Flame retardancy can be achieved through inorganic materials like asbestos, chemical treatments with flame retardant chemicals, or polymer modification. Different fabrics have varying flammability, from highly flammable cotton to more flame resistant wool. Flame retardant chemicals work to suppress flames and smoke by changing combustible gases into non-flaming carbon char. They interfere with the combustion process and slow the rate of burning. Flame retardant finishes can be permanent or durable for the life of the fabric or non-durable and requiring re-application over time. Potential

    FLAME RETARDANT FINISH

    SUBMITTED BY :-
    Ravi bhushan
    Ritesh raman
    Textiles consist of highly ignitable materials and
    are the primary source of ignition. They
    contribute to rapid fire spread
    However, reduction of ignitability can be
    obtained by :-

    1: Use of Inorganic materials {Asbestos, Glass


    etc}
    2: Through chemical treatment with FR {Flame
    Retardant chemicals}
    3: Through modification of the polymer.
    Flammability of Fabrics
    • Cotton and linen also have a high burning
    rate
    • Acetate and triacetate are as flammable or
    slightly less flammable than cotton
    • Nylon, polyester and acrylic tend to be slow
    to ignite but once ignited, severe melting
    and dripping occurs.
    • Wool is comparatively flame-retardant
    • Glass fibers and monoacrylic are almost
    flame-resistant
    Flame retardant
    • The flammability of fabric can be drastically
    reduced through the use of fire retardants
    • Resistant to catching fire.
    • Flame retardants are chemicals used in
    textiles and leather goods that inhibit or
    resist the spread of fire
    • Fire retardant fabrics are textiles that are
    naturally more resistant to fire than others
    through chemical treatment or
    manufactured fireproof fibers.
    Features of flame retardant
    chemicals
    •Suppress smoke generators
    •Will not stain most fabrics
    •Can be sprayed, brushed, rolled on or dipped
    •Non hazardous
    •Non toxic
    •Dries clear
    How Do Chemicals Work?
    When exposed to flame, fire retardant
    chemicals cause a reaction that changes the
    gases and tars in the fabric to carbon char.
    Flame retardant fabric would eventually burn if
    exposed to flame long enough. Slowing the
    rate of burning however, is a big advantage
    during a fire
    Function of a Flame Retardant:
    They interfere with combustion at various stages of the
    process e.g. during heating, decomposition, ignition of flame
    spread. Fire is gas phase reaction. For a substance to burn,
    it must become a gas. As with any solid, a textile fabric
    exposed to a heat source experiences a temperature rise. If
    the temperature of the source is high enough and the net
    rate of heat transfer to the fabric is great,pyrolytic
    decomposition of the fiber substrate will occur. The
    combustible gases mix with the ambient air and its oxygen.
    The mixture ignites, yielding a flame, when its composition
    and temperature are favorable. Part of the heat generated
    within the flame is transferred to the fabric to sustain the
    burning process and part is lost to the surroundings.
    Durability of flame retardant
    • permanently fire retardant, or durably fire retardant,
    the flame retardancy will last for the life of the fabric.
    The drapery can be laundered or dry-cleaned as
    recommended by the drapery manufacturer
    • Non –durable fire retardant, that have been topically
    treated with chemicals, the flame retardancy of the
    fabric will dissipate over time, particularly with
    repeated cleaning. These fabrics must be dry-cleaned
    with a non-liquid cleaning agent.
    • Typically, the flame retardancy of topically treated
    fabric is certified for one year
