[Comprehensive] Nantong Bao Jian: Development Prospect of Flame-retardant Workwear

The development of flame-retardant fabrics currently has the following three aspects: internationalization, serialization, comprehensiveness and multiplicity of performance requirements, and an increase in the number and types of standards.

The fire-retardant textile performance testing methods in China and most countries in the world are approaching to the international standard (ISO), some of which are adopted directly, some are equivalently or equivalently adopted, and the product standards are developed in the direction of internationalization and serialization. China's fire protection department has already formed four series of industry standards for firefighters' general protective clothing performance requirements and test methods, fire and heat insulation clothing, fire protection fire suits and fire protection chemical protective clothing.

In terms of comprehensiveness and multiplicity of performance requirements, in addition to flame retardant requirements, textile product standards have been developed to suitability. For example, apparel fabrics have strong, breathable, stiffness, shrinkage, color, and toxicity requirements. In addition, depending on the use of the environment but also to increase the requirements of special protective performance, welding clothing to increase the impact of anti-molten metal droplets, and some also need to increase the requirements of radiation and water resistance, petrochemical and coal mines with protective clothing to increase resistance Static electricity requirements.

The application fields of flame-retardant workwear have included the metallurgy, petroleum, chemical, forestry, firefighting, electricity, coal, construction, and traffic lights industries. With the standard production of flame-retardant workwear, ensuring the quality of products and the need to develop new products, the number and type of textile flame retardant standards will rapidly increase.
