Description
Flame Retardant Cotton is fabric made from high-quality natural cotton fiber that undergoes a special chemical finishing process. Unlike untreated cotton, which ignites easily and continues to burn quickly, the FR treatment causes the fabric to form a carbonized "char" when exposed to high heat or flame, creating a barrier that stops combustion and prevents a major fire from starting.
Key Features and Benefits:Durable Flame Resistance: The chemical treatment is typically engineered to be durable, meaning the flame-retardant properties last for the garment's lifetime and are resistant to multiple industrial washes (often 30+ washes, depending on the treatment).High Comfort and Breathability: Since the base material is 100% cotton, the fabric retains its excellent comfort, soft hand-feel, and breathability, making it ideal for daily wear, especially in hot and humid environments.Good Strength Retention: Modern, high-quality FR treatments are designed to minimize the natural strength loss that can occur during the finishing process, resulting in a durable garment.Cost-Effective Safety: It offers a practical and economical solution for meeting mandatory safety standards (like NFPA 2112, ASTM F1506, etc.) in industries such as oil and gas, utility, and manufacturing.
Common Applications: It is predominantly used to manufacture protective apparel, including:Work uniforms and coveralls
Welding jackets and aprons
Mining and utility clothing
Military and tactical gear
