Fabrics used in public spaces must meet certain fire safety standards according to the NFPA 701 test under the criteria mandated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and TB 117-/ASTM E under California law. These tests are responsible for testing the flammability of a fabric and ignition resistance as it is exposed to a flame or lit embers.
For more information, please visit Xinxing FR.
A properly rated fire-retardant fabric that has passed the NFPA 701 test should have an after flame that is less than 2 seconds, a char length that is less than 6.5 inches, and lastly, the flame should stop when it reaches the floor of a test chamber. A fire-retardant fabric that has passed TB 117-/ASTM E will show no signs of smoldering after exposure to a lit cigarette for 45 minutes, no open flaming, and a char length that is less than 1.8 inches. It is important to use flame-retardant fabrics in public spaces as in most states and cities proper fire protection is mandated by law.
Other Fabric tests include UFAC Fabric Classification and CCR Title 19, Sec. .1 Flame Resistance. Passing UFAC indicates that when tested the substrates did not ignite or display a vertical char that was equal or greater to 44 mm. CTB 117- is the standard for testing upholstered furniture, tested specimens must resist smolder ignition in order to pass.
One of the many approaches to fire safety involves limiting the spread of a fire to its source. In doing so the integrity of a building’s structure can be preserved. Another hazard of fires comes from the smoke that is produced that is toxic for humans and other living things. Quality protective coatings will help to contain the spread of fire, as well as reduce smoke emissions.
Protect fabrics in your buildings with FR Clear in order to help limit fire spread, as well as smoke production. After 45 minutes of exposure to a small ember (such as a lit cigarette), our product demonstrated no signs of smoldering, no open flaming, and a vertical char length of 1.8 in or less, passing the criteria of TB 117-/ASTM E.
Similarly, our product passed the criteria of the NFPA 701 test, with an after flame that was less than 2 seconds, a char length that was less than 6.5 inches.
Our product provides high heat transfer protection, this means that it will protect substrates under intense heat, and stop them from igniting. In short, materials coated with fire retardant are not flammable, saving them from the spread of fire as it travels from unprotected items. When applied to clothes the right coating can significantly reduce heat transfer, protecting the wearer from intense heat.
Flame-Retardant coating for fabrics are non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive, and water-soluble, making them safe for people and safe for the environment.
