Flame retardant base cloth is a fabric substrate with fire and flame retardant properties. It is mostly made from polyester, cotton, or blended fibers through flame retardant treatments (such as padding and coating). As the base layer of functional fabrics, it provides core flame retardant performance for subsequent processing and is widely used in protection, decoration, and other scenarios.
-
Flame retardancy: Not easy to burn when exposed to fire, can inhibit flame spread, and self-extinguishes quickly after leaving the fire source, reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions.
-
Mechanical properties: Retains certain strength and wear resistance, and is washable (maintains flame retardant effect after multiple washes).
-
Compatibility: Can be compounded, printed, or coated, adapting to various post-processing techniques to expand application scenarios.
-
Raw materials: Polyester (mainstream), cotton/polyester blends (e.g., 50% cotton + 50% polyester), some contain flame retardant fibers (e.g., aramid).
-
Weight: 100-300g/m², selected according to load-bearing requirements (e.g., heavy-duty industrial use tends to be thicker).
-
Thickness: 0.2-0.8mm, positively correlated with weight, affecting durability and protection level.
-
Flame retardant standards: Complies with standards such as EN 13501 and GB 8965, meeting requirements based on usage (e.g., protective clothing needs to pass vertical burning tests).
-
Width: Conventional 150-200cm, customizable.
- Protection field: Firefighting clothing, welder's clothing, industrial protective clothing.
- Public facilities: Curtains, carpets, seat covers (in public places such as theaters and subways).
- Industrial field: Fire curtains, equipment protective covers, cable wrapping cloth.
