Flame-retardant fabric, as a special material that can effectively resist the spread of flames and protect life and property, is widely used in many fields, and its selection and application are particularly important. There are many types of flame-retardant fabrics on the market today with different properties. How to choose flame-retardant fabrics that not only meet safety standards but also meet actual needs has become a problem faced by many people. CJTI will provide you with a detailed smart guide for purchasing flame retardant fabrics to help you make a wise choice.

1. Understand the importance of flame-retardant fabrics

Through its unique flame retardant mechanism, flame retardant fabrics can act quickly when exposed to fire sources and slow down the spread of flames.

2. Clarify the flame retardant performance requirements

Before purchasing flame-retardant fabrics, you first need to clarify the required flame-retardant performance requirements. This includes aspects such as flame retardant levels, testing methods and durability. Flame-retardant grade is an important indicator to measure the flame-retardant performance of fabrics. Common flame-retardant grade standards include GB (Chinese national standard), EN (European standard), etc.

The testing methods for flame retardant fabrics are used to verify whether the flame retardant performance of the fabric meets the standards, such as vertical burning test, horizontal burning test, etc.

In addition, it is also necessary to consider the durability and flame retardant properties of the fabric, that is, whether its flame retardant properties can remain unchanged after repeated washing or use.

3. Consider fabric quality and composition

The quality of the fabric directly affects its flame retardant performance and service life. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the fiber composition and manufacturing process of the fabric. High-quality \flame-retardant fabrics are usually made of specially treated flame-retardant fibers or fabrics with flame retardants added. When burned, they can quickly form a stable carbonization layer to isolate oxygen and heat, thereby achieving \flame retardant effects. . At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the wear resistance, washing resistance, color fastness and other performance indicators of the fabric to ensure that it can maintain good \flame retardant properties during long-term use.

4. Combining the use environment and needs

Different usage environments and needs have different performance requirements for flame-retardant fabrics. For example, in the industrial field, fabrics with high flame retardant levels and durability need to be selected to cope with harsh working environments. In addition, flame-retardant fabrics with additional functions such as waterproofing, static, and breathability can also be selected according to actual needs.

5. View certification and testing reports

Certification and testing reports are important basis for evaluating the performance of flame-retardant fabrics. When purchasing, suppliers should be asked to provide relevant product certification and testing reports. These documents can prove the flame-retardant performance, environmental performance and compliance of the fabric with relevant standards and requirements. Especially for reports issued by some internationally renowned certification agencies (such as SGS, TÜV, etc.), their authority and credibility are higher.

6. Choose reliable suppliers

A reliable flame-retardant fabric supplier is the key to ensuring the purchase of high-quality flame-retardant fabrics. When selecting a supplier, attention should be paid to its corporate strength, production scale, technical strength and after-sales service. Strong companies are usually able to provide better products and better services.
