 Flame resistance is defined by ASTM “The property of 
a material whereby flaming combustion is prevented , 
terminated or inhibited following application of a 
flaming or non-flaming source of ignition , with or 
without the subsequent removal of the ignition 
source”
 Flammability of textile is an important contributor to 
series injuries and loss of life and property in fires.
Flammability Standards and test 
 “A piece of fabric placed in holder at a 45 degree angle 
and exposed to a flame for 1.0 second must not spread 
flame up the length of the sample in less 3.5 seconds 
for smooth fabrics or 4.0 seconds for napped fabrics” 
 Five specimens measuring two inches by six inches are 
required for each test
Flame Resistant textiles 
Textile products can be made flame resistant by using 
fibers that are inherently flame resistant , by using 
manufactured fibers that have flame-retardant 
chemicals included in the solution or melt before they 
spun through spinneret or by application of flame 
resistant finish.
Flame Resistant textiles 
 More thermally stable materials such as asbestos , 
glass fibers, the aramids could be called fireproof 
substances that will not burn. 
 Glass fibers has many industrial uses and may be used 
to limited extent in househols textile product such as 
window shades or lamp shades.
Flame Resistant textiles 
 Modacrylic fibers offered adequate flame resistance at 
a moderate cost and were used in carpets , curtains , 
children’s sleepwear and airline blankets. 
 Modacrylic has been largely replaced by polyester that 
has flame-retardant chemicals added. 
 Phosphorus , nitrogen , halogens , boron and 
zirconium are commonly used.
Flame Resistant textiles 
 Durable flame resistant finishes for cotton and cotton 
and cotton blend fabric contain phosphorus and 
nitrogen. They react chemically with fibers and inhibit 
the production of compounds that fuel the flame. 
 Commercial flame retardant finishes are Pyrovatex, 
Proban , and PyronO
 A particular problem in textile flammability is the 
burning of cotton/polyester blends. Because polyester 
is less flammable that cotton, common assumption is 
that blend will be less hazardous than all-cotton 
fabrics. But the char left as cotton burns serves to hold 
the melting point and dripping polyester in the flame. 
This is referred as a SCAFFOLDING effect that 
prevents the polyester from dripping away, as it would 
100 percent polyester fabric. The polyester remains in 
the flame and contributes to the burning.
Flame Retardants 
Also knows as Fire-Retardants 
 Water soluble compounds of phosphorus, antimony and 
boron. 
 Phosphates and borates ( for temporary flame retardancy ) 
 Phosphorous containing methylol compounds like tetrakis 
( Hydroxy methyl ) phosphoniumchloride and oxide ( 
THPC and THPOH ), 
 Oligomeric Vinyl Phosphonate ( Permanent flame 
retardants )
