Evaluation of the effect of intumescent flame retardants on the fire hazard indicators of textile materials

Abstract

This article discusses the aspects of the use of intumescent flame retardants to reduce the fire hazard of technical fabrics made of natural fibers. The effectiveness of bulging compositions based on tannic acid is shown. Experimental data on the fire-hazardous properties of the starting material and its constituent textile fibers, as well as fabrics treated with an intumescent flame retardant, are presented.
