Meet the Fabrics Linen and cotton are two of the easiest fabrics to ignite because their texture is lightweight. Because these types of fabrics do not melt or shrink away from open flame, they have a rapid rate of combustion. When materials that include linen or cotton fabric catch fire in a home, ... read more
Most synthetic fibers, such as nylon, acrylic or polyester, are flame retardant. However, once it is ignited, the fabric will melt. This hot, viscous, molten substance can cause local burns and cause severe burns. When mixing natural and synthetic fibers, the risk may increase because the high burn... read more
All fabrics will burn, but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material... read more
Flame retardants refer to a variety of chemical compounds added to otherwise combustible materials to create a layer of flammability protection, providing more time to escape and for first responders to save lives and minimize property damage. Because the need to reduce the risk of fire is critical... read more
The aqueous defoamer is a modified silicon dimethicone high efficiency defoamer emulsion that can be used to eliminate foam in aqueous systems. A water-milk dispersible defoamer prepared by an emulsification technique. All raw materials and links are non-toxic, with the characteristics of fast disp... read more
