Fire Retardant Fabrics

Are you searching for a manufacturer of fire retardant fabrics and materials? LCR Services is perfect for your manufacturing needs. In this article, we will be discussing fire retardant fabrics and its uses and applications in different industries.

What is a Fire Retardant Fabric?

Fire retardant fabrics are fabrics that can prevent a fire from spreading and can be quite useful in different industries. If you are in need of high volume fire retardant fabrics and materials, LCR Services can help you with your needs.

The flammability of a fabric or material must be considered and given importance in areas such as school, theatre, and other specific places that can occupy a lot of people at the same time. Drapery fabrics must be fire retardant as federal regulations require them to be.

Fire retardant fabrics and materials have a lot of uses and applications, such as:

  • Interior materials such as curtains in schools, hospitals, hotels, convention areas, and theaters.
  • Industrial work uniforms
  • Uniforms for firefighters
  • Racing apparel for professional racers
  • Uniforms for air force pilots
  • Parachutes and tent fabrics
The fire retardancy of fabrics and materials can depend on different factors such as how many times it has been dry cleaned and the conditions of the environment where the fabric will be used. A fabric/ material can be thoroughly tested for its fire retardant properties.

There are two types of fire retardant fabrics:

Chemically treated

these are fabrics that are treated with fire-resistant chemicals to prevent them from catching fires.

Inherently

these are fabrics that can naturally resist fire because of their structures and how they were made.

There are different types of fabrics; there are some that are more resistant to fire than others. Natural fibers such as silk and wool tend to burn slowly while others such as linen and cotton can burn quickly and cause fires to quickly spread. There are also synthetic fibers that are fire retardants such as glass fibers and polyesters.

There are fabrics that are made from the combination of synthetic and natural fibers like a polyester/cotton blend that can ignite quickly and at the same time have the melting properties of synthetic fiber.

Which one is better, a treated fabric with a fire retardant chemical or an inherent fire retardant fabric and material? It will depend on your specific preference and needs, but you have to remember to choose the best high-volume cut and sew manufacturer that understands your needs and at the same time values the importance of providing high-quality and safe materials.
