Flame Retardant Textiles

With industrialization, the safety of human beings has become an important issue. A growing segment of the industrial textiles industry has therefore been involved in a number of new developments in fibers, fabrics, protective clothing. Major challenges to coatings and fabrication technology for production in the flame-retardant textile industry have been to produce environmentally friendly, non-toxic flame-retardant systems that complement the comfort properties of textiles. Therefore, saw some major innovations in the development of heat-resistant fibres and flame-protective clothing for firefighters, foundry workers, military, aviation and space personnel, and for other industrial workers who are exposed to hazardous conditions.
