Retardant fabric V/s fire proof fabric?
We should all understand what is meant by the terms “fireproofing” and “fire-retarding”. Cement, steel, bricks and even stone will distort, glassily, or decapitated, when the temperatures are high enough. The object of flame resisting is to reduce the possibility of an incipient fire or flame from spreading and becoming a conflagration. Flame retardant material dramatically slows this burning process. Normally when the ignition source is removed, the fabric will self-extinguish. There is no such thing as fireproofing; everything will burn at a high enough temperature. This is quite true, technically speaking. All products on the market today which are intended to retard flame in fabrics, carpets, wood, etc., are intended to set up a thermal barrier to reduce the flame spread, to reduce the after burn and essentially allow some additional time for humans to escape from burning tents or buildings.
