Combustion comparison test: Flame-Retardant vs. Regular Fabrics!
* Regular Fabrics: Catch fire easily.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Difficult to ignite.
* Regular Fabrics: Flames spread rapidly, leading to quick escalation of fire.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Flames spread slowly or barely at all, buying precious time for evacuation and firefighting.
3. Self-Extinguishing Properties
* Regular Fabrics: Continue to burn even after the ignition source is removed.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Typically self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed, effectively preventing further spread.
* Regular Fabrics: Burn with intense flames, often accompanied by melting drips that can cause secondary burns.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Burn with small or no flames, usually forming a char layer. This char layer effectively insulates against oxygen and heat, with little to no melting drips, significantly reducing hazards.
* Regular Fabrics: Produce large amounts of dense smoke and toxic gases when burning, severely impairing visibility and posing health risks.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Generate relatively less smoke and toxic gases (depending on the type of flame retardant used), improving visibility and increasing the chances of escape.
* Regular Fabrics: Leave minimal ash (except cotton) or molten residue after burning.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Form an expanded char layer after burning, with more significant residue—a clear indicator of their fire-retardant efficacy.
* Regular Fabrics: Offer no fire protection.
* Flame-Retardant Fabrics: Their core purpose is to prevent ignition, slow down flame spread, and thus create favorable conditions for evacuation and firefighting.
