Flammability on textile of flight crew professional clothing

Abstract

Formation of the hydrophobic coating on polymeric textile materials in nonequilibrium low-temperature plasma O V Vishnevskaya, E F Voznesensky, V V Vishnevsky et al. Values to the professional clothing material indicate that they are flammable and the curtains, self-extinguishing. Thus, despite of the occurrences of fire outbreaks in aircrafts are unexceptional, the use of other materials and technologies for uniforms, such as alternative textile fibers and flame retardant finishes should be considered as well as the establishment of performance limits regarding flame and fire exposing.

An Easy Fabricable Film for Organic Electronics Based on Phenoxy and Epoxy

“…The LOI grade lower than 21 is of a flammable material. Conversely, the unit of LOI higher than 21 is self‐extinguishable or slack combustible . For the aerospace and aviation industry application, a high LOI material is desirable.…”

“…Conversely, the unit of LOI higher than 21 is self-extinguishable or slack combustible. [38] For the aerospace and aviation industry application, a high LOI material is desirable. Figure 4a shows the transmittances of the film PE polymer and PET films.…”

The Application of Sheep Wool in the Building Industry and in the Removal of Pollutants from the Environment

“…It is defined as the minimum concentration of oxygen in a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen that is needed to support the flaming combustion of a material. According to the LOI, wool is classified as "Slow burning" (Table 2) based on its LOI of 25.2 [18].…”

“…Table 2. The classification of the selected materials' flammability based on the Limiting Oxygen Index (Adapted from [18]). Wool ignites only at a temperature of about 560 • C. It is important that wool does not melt or drip during a fire, i.e., it does not spread fire, but it does char [12].…”
