Fire prevention is a process in which a layer of flame retardant is applied or sprayed on the surface of Oxford cloth, so that it can extinguish immediately upon contact with an open flame or automatically extinguish within 0-12 seconds. According to different purposes and needs, flame-retardant Oxford cloth can also meet the requirements of water washing resistance, halogen-free environmental protection, waterproof, anti-static, high temperature resistance, and radiation resistance.

    What are the testing methods for fireproof and flame retardant fabrics?

    Vertical method: The flame retardant fabric specimen is required to be placed vertically (with the specimen length perpendicular to the horizontal line), and the combustion source is ignited at the lower end of the specimen. The minimum ignition time, flame spread rate, carbonization area, and carbonization length of the flame retardant fabric specimen are measured. Suitable for testing the flame retardancy of flame-retardant knitted fabrics, flame-retardant woven fabrics, flame-retardant coatings, and laminated products.

   Horizontal method: also known as tablet method, this method is used for laying floor fabrics and placing the test pieces horizontally. Determine the specific burning rate of flame-retardant fabrics in the horizontal direction under specified conditions, that is, the reactivity of materials or components to heat and flame.

    45 degree tilting method: The flame retardant fabric specimen is tilted at a 45 degree angle (the length direction of the specimen forms a 45 degree angle with the horizontal line). GB/T14644 Textile Fabrics - Determination of Burning Rate in the 45 Degree Direction. Used to measure the intensity and speed of combustion of flammable textiles when worn, once ignited.

     Of course, there are more methods for testing based on different flame retardant standards.Suzhou Kaibohui is a professional supplier of wholesale fabrics.
