Textile
Fire retardant fabric
-It is textiles that are more resistant to fire compare to others.
-It is through chemical treatment or manufactured fireproof fibers.
Process
-It is made of polyester. Polyester is a very strong, elastic fibre which has high abrasion resistance, good durability and exceptional dimensional stability. It is unaffected dilute or medium concentrated mineral acids and has good resistance to hot or cold dilute alkalis.
-Basic polyester properties are combined with a permanent flame retardant the resultant fabrics are an ideal choice for curtains and bed screens.
Technical information
-Polyesters produce easy care fabrics that have excellent resistance to light and good crease resistance properties.
-It is resistant to UV degradation.
-These fabrics must be dry-cleaned with a non-liquid cleaning agent.
-The flame retardancy will last for the life od the fabric depends on the treated of repeated cleaning.
Limitations
-Need to maintain the chemical of the fabric.
-The flame retardancy of fabric will dissipate over time, particularly with repeated cleaning.
Normal usage
-Stage curtain fabric
-Curtain and furniture.
- Mostly use for curtain in public space such as hospital and institutions.
-Interior binds, bed cover
Environmental impact
-It can be reuse
-Technically speaking, polyester can be recycled. Re use will be a better solution. As it is more difficult to process, reconstruct or pulping for reconstituting.
Advantages
-More protective
-Help to lessen the risk of fire
-Reduce its severity so that major catastrophes can be avoided.
-Greater need for care.
Disadvantages
-Require maintenance and care during laundry part.
-Hardly recycle as it is with chemical.
-More heavy.
