  Flame Retardant Textile Finishes
  Author(s): Won Kim*
  
  Fabrics with flame-retardant finishes play a vital role in enhancing the safety and protection offered by textile materials. These finishes are designed to inhibit or delay the spread of flames, reducing the risk of injury or property damage in fire-related incidents. Flame retardant finishes are widely used in various industries, including protective clothing, furnishings, automotive interiors, and aerospace applications. One of the key objectives of Fabrics with flame-retardant finishes is to create a barrier between the textile material and the ignition source. This barrier prevents or hinders the transfer of heat, fuel, and oxygen, which are necessary for combustion to occur. By impeding the combustion process, these finishes help to slow down the spread of flames, limit the release of toxic gases, and reduce the intensity of heat generated during a fire. There are different types.. Read More»
