Traditional Flame Retardant Fiber Gradually Enters The Public Life 1

"

As the saying goes, "fire and water are merciless", in our ordinary life, fire hazards are everywhere.

The sudden fire has caused huge economic losses to us, and has also taken away a lot of fresh life, thus bringing countless life and death pains.

In order to reduce fire accidents caused by flammable textiles, the harm caused to people's lives and property is reduced.

The flame-retardant fabric has become inexorable and gradually began to walk into our life.

tradition

The history of flame retardancy of mankind can be traced back to ancient Rome.

In modern times, the British developed a flame retardant fiber called 511 in 1935, and applied for a patent at that time.

The research on flame retardant fibers in China started only in the 50s of last century.

Even so, the temporary flame retardant of cotton fibers was the main research direction at that time.

However, it was slow by the constraints of various conditions at that time.

After the reform and opening up, a number of research institutes, colleges and factories in Shanghai, Jilin, Shandong, Guangdong, Tianjin, Sichuan, Beijing, Jiangsu and other provinces and cities conducted a small-scale and pilot study on flame retardant fibers.

However, the vast number of researchers quickly studied the results.

By the early 80s, China's flame retardant polyester and flame retardant polypropylene had formed mass production capacity.

However, due to

With the passage of time, the living standard of our people has been continuously improved, and the market of flame retardant fabric has also been gradually expanded.

It is understood that before the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, the domestic sales of fire-retardant fiber industry has exceeded 5 billion yuan, and the number of employees has reached about 300 thousand.

As far as flame-retardant fabric is concerned, it has also been widely used in many professional clothing such as fire fighting clothing, various kinds of spacesuit, fire-fighting clothing, police uniform, racing suit, petrochemical fire prevention work clothes, forest work clothes and electrician clothes.

Because of its professional nature, professional clothing has a limited scope of use, and the market formed by it is also very limited.

What is the use of flame-retardant fabric in the wide range of civilian fiber fabrics in China?

civil

As we all know, in the face of sudden fire or burns and so on.

Adults can still help themselves, escape and so on, but minors, especially infants and young children, will suffer serious or even fatal injuries.

Therefore, it is natural for us to take the lead in the use of flame-retardant fibers in children's clothing fabrics.

In fact, the European and American countries promulgated the flame retardant standards for children's clothing, sofa fabrics and various textile fillers as early as last 80s.

In particular, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission released a revised version of the flame retardancy standard for children's pajamas in 1996.

However, in the domestic children's clothing market, the vast majority of children's clothing and even have no concept of fire retardant.

At a department store, several parents who were shopping for children's clothing were questioned at random.

They all said they were concerned about whether fabrics are natural fabrics such as cotton and silk, and whether the content of formaldehyde in clothing is over standard.

But when asked about the flame-retardant aspects of children's clothing, most of them did not know clearly, did not understand, and even answered that they had never heard of it.

It is easy to see that consumers' understanding and knowledge of flame retardant fabrics are basically blind areas.

How much do you know about flame-retardant fibers for many children's clothing and home textile manufacturers? In fact, decades of reform and development have been made.

China's textile production enterprises, especially those producing and selling in the economically developed coastal areas, have been able to have a keen grasp of the dynamics of the international textile market.

For Europe and the United States and other countries issued a series of fire retardant standards for household textiles, it should be said to be an open mind.

This type of textile enterprises in China has experienced more or less OEM production for foreign enterprises.

If it is not known to foreign countries, especially the European and American textile standards, it is simply impossible.

However, after understanding, although most domestic textile manufacturers believe that China's introduction of mandatory standards for textile flame retardancy is only a matter of time, it is the general trend.

However, due to the background of the global financial crisis and the strict control of the cost of textile production, and other factors.

Unless the order has special requirements, generally speaking, domestic textile manufacturers will not take the initiative to add expensive flame retardant fibers.

In short, the domestic flame retardant fibers are widely applied in special industries.

The vast majority of the civilian sector is still in the awkward situation that consumers know little about flame-retardant fibers and have a weak sense of consciousness.
